Meet 'Wilma'....updated - interior shots
Meet Wilma, our new addition.
Wilma is a 2012 Mini Countryman Cooper SD All4 in Oxford Green with a Polar Beige interior. 5 miles on he clock when we picked her up this afternoon....
....she's going to be the little runabout and replaces our 2005 E53.

Re: Meet 'Wilma'....
Well - where is the picture of Mrs X5Sport getting hold of the key with a slimy sales guy ?
Love the colour, that is really nice, especially the combo with the light leather in there. What engine is actually in there?

Re: Meet 'Wilma'....
The Sales Guy is actually a very nice Sales Girl called Becky
The engine is 2.0 litre straight 4 with 143bhp and a 6-speed manual box. The interior and exterior colours do actually work better than I thought they might. I hate it when she's right She also picked the colours on the X6.
She also specced a chrome exterior accents trim, which again I think works well with the Turbofan wheels. Other toys include the full BMW Apps/Internet Media Pack, Chilli Pack, Sport Suspension, auto-mirrors, pano roof, removeable towbar, flat load floor, 4-seats, compass mirror, heated screen, harmon-kardon audio, Visual Boost radio, DAB, and voice control, extra winter wheel set, Bi-Xenon adaptive lights, 3-year service pack and the full satnav.
As to Wilma.......well that comes from her mind using the key part of the VIN starting WM. Beyond that I am not going to guess.....it's a female logic thing I suppose.

No, but she's blonde, 5' 10", a real giggle, and VERY married (for all of two weeks )

Re: Meet 'Wilma'....
2 weeks is well within the change-your-mind cool off period
Does she actually know anything about the cars? Very sexist I know, but I have never met a car sales woman yet who actually knows anything about cars ... (not that the male equivalent is much better most of the times).

One of my friends stole his wife (who he has now been with for 20years) on her wedding night to her first husband!
I still think there is a chance - I'm sure beckys husband has got complacent already!

SWMBO's gone off with the car so they'll have to wait, as will the photo of Becky's (exterior).
