Met with the BMW Technical specialist about my brand "new" roof cloth today...pleasant enough chap...but not too happy about his explanation on why the brand new cloth already has the white wear marks on it after this short time.
I wouldn't recommend anyone buying a convertible Mini. I certainly won't be buying the new convertible when it comes out...and that may have been a possibility.
My next vert will be a hard top...maybe a Merc:)
