"Cooper" loaner from MNS

Postby ThumperMCS » Wed Nov 25, 2009 6:40 am

So, had to take my car in today unexpectedly...limp mode :( .

But....when they asked what loaner I wanted: "Cooper, convertible, or Clubman?" I said..."how bout that S?"

They all paused and said "we don't have an S?" in a confused way. So whatever, I took one of the Clubman loaners. When I went out to get it, I checked out the car I thought was an S...

It had a center exhaust, hood scoop, and I could see the intercooler through the front bumper. However, it was badged as a "Cooper" and had Cooper side scuttles. It's definitely an S though!

So, next time you get a loaner from MNS....tell them you want loaner M13...the white "Cooper" :D

Any concerns they'll reflash your ECU?
