My and my girlfriend will leave in 15 minutes for the VIP opening of the first BMW MINI
store here in Helsinki that meets all BMW standards.

Black tie is required and buffet with wine and beer etc. will be served.

Luckily my girlfriend will be the driver!

I'll send in some cellcam pics later - if I'm up to it

Awesome! You'll like the car. it drives really nice!!! I'm already done playing with mine. had it for 3 years and 1 month. Only lost $8K in depreciation and that was including tax. well I did add some other stuff to it. but those dont count. Less than 1K in mods. 3 years at a cost of $9K total.

This Helsinki BMW center is the largest in the northern Europe.
3000 was invited but we where less than one thousend.

Nice happening with lots of good food, drinks and shows...

Here's the first set of pics, if you guys like them, I maybe send some more.
Took pics of 320iS, M5, Z4 M etc...

I talked with the BMW Nordic rep about the E60 facelift and the new N54 enigines.
E60 facelift will NOT come before EU MY 08 and the new N54 engines will not either
be introduced before the facelift.

V8's for US and some other goodies might be introduced to you.

Just guess what is done in the first pic?
