If you are already the proud owner of a new MINI -- purchased through MINI Yaletown -- recommend MINI Yaletown to family and friends as 'the' location to buy their next vehicle. When their purchase of a new MINI Cooper Classic, Cooper or Cooper S goes through, you're entitled to a $150 referral fee.

 
Two new colours, dashboard chrome trim, new alloy wheels, and even a choice of soft-top roof shades ... when the new MINI Convertible hits Vancouver streets later this summer it will feature a host of new options as well as more than a few new design refinements. Available in both 1.6L Cooper and supercharged Cooper S incarnations -- producing 115 hp and 170 hp respectively -- the new and much anticipated cabriolet sports a two-step electric retractable roof, complete with a heated glass rear windshield.    more

Enjoying the Cooper experience but feeling the need for a little more speed? Wishing that 1.6-litre engine had a little more growl to it? Now is the perfect time to think about upgrading your exhaust system and your air intake for that extra boost.  To highlight the summer season, the MINI Yaletown Service Centre is offering the John Cooper Works Sport Exhaust Pipe (for the standard Cooper) and a K&N Typhoon Cold Air Intake for $1,170 (taxes extra).  more
