"As an owner, this action is both disappointing and unnecessary; it is insulting to our enthusiasm as owners and motorists and antithetical to the brand you have carefully built over the last two years."
"I've never owned a mini, but I've always fancied them. Although, I own a BMW and I think BMWNA/MINIUSA should stay away from this corporate-high-handedness. The cars you sell are not cheap, so it is the people who love the good things about your products "
"Shame, shame on you, BMW for being so cheap and silly. You have what has been called the phenonomon of the era. A car that everyone wants. Why would you, a company that is so strong want to deny all of us MINI owners some enjoyment in the name. I for one "
"I don't have any problem separating the BMW corporation or any of its related companies from an enthusist's organization, or an aftermarket supplier. I love my MINI, and I support BOTH MCO and MINIUSA."
"Is MINIUSA stupid??"
"So much for good PR......lawyers..."
"A wonderful car. Too bad I cannot say the same for its parent company."
"Using the words "Mini & Cooper" before BMW took over did not seem to hurt sales or the image. Why should it be a problem now? This is one of the finest cars that has ever been mfg, don't ruin it by being a stuff shirt."
"I've purchased two BMWs within 1 year. Don't suppress a strong following of enthusiasts."

"I believe BMW will only be damaging the hard work already done to create a loyal following and brand ID. Why do damage to your own customer base? Sincerely, Steve Dayan"
"I agree with the assesments that sites such as minicooperonline.com help to share the overall enthusiasm for a great car and do not detract from BMW's trademarks."
"This kind of persecution will keep me from buying a MINI."
"Let's not shoot ourselves in the foot, Let's not crush entrepreneurs"
"Leave it to us Americans to f*** up a fantastic thing. Mr. Pitney, what you are trying to do will do a spledid job of preventing repeat business, in addition to turning off potential new customers."
"Way to understimate the need for a Co-pilot!!!!"
"Why try to put an end to something that helps your company sell more of its MINI's? How do you expect to generate sales without allowing clubs and websites to operate? Every vehicle on this planet has a club or website dedicated to it, and most, if not al"
