IRD, what made you choose a Countryman?

IRD, what made you choose a Countryman?

Well it’s my good lady’s choice really. We were disappointed with the 330e and BMW’s inability to sort the problems. Plus now we have two small dogs and don’t need such a big car. We had a look at the Cupar Formentor and quite liked that but the interior finish wasn’t wonderful. We also looked at the 2 litreToyota Corolla Estate. But the earliest we could have one was March 23. We called in at the Mini showroom when collecting a part for the Z from BMW next door. They had a Cooper S Countryman with the Exclusive Plus pack on it and we tried it out and liked it. They also promised delivery of a new car before the end of December 22. In addition we were offered a loyalty bonus of £1000 having bought several BMWs. So the deal was signed.
I’ve not been a fan of the sales side of this BMW dealer in the past but the Mini Franchise next door has a better reputation. So hopefully all will be well. We go on holiday next week and were going to book a taxi to and from the airport at a cost of £200. I happened to mention this to the sales guy and he offered to loan me a car for the week. So a good start. Let’s just hope it continues.

I hope Martin helped??

Sadly no. Short of time due to going away. Tbh we knew the front right top mount had a bolt missing but thought that was all, though Brian suspected a couple of lower bushes needed doing. It was booked in the day after I changed the expansion tank.
I guess that is where my situation is limiting in time and facilities which is a bit frustrating.
