    Got my set on Friday. Just a fun gift.

    Not sure what the criteria is for getting them.

    I have a 2012 MCS that I bought new.

    I recently attended the F56 launch event here. I'm also registered for MTTS.

    So who knows?

    They aren't Bluetooth, have a wire to connect to device. I got mine a week or so ago. We have a conversation going on the MTTS Facebook page and have determined that so far, we all bought a car in 2012 and most if not all in May.

    Maybe this is why you couldn't order an HK system in the F56.....marketing took all the speakers and gave them away in cardboard boxes!

    The 2012 MINI makes sense but now I know someone with a 2011 bought in 2010 that got them - maybe tied to the F56 launch!? Who knows - I was just curious - as to what the criteria was and thought maybe someone on here MIGHT have some inside knowledge - thanks if anyone finds out - be sure to post! Have a great day and maybe I'll catch some of you on the MTTS route!

    I'm dropping the Helmet off at MAG Mini in a little while. I will ask them if they know.

    My wife has at 2012 CM and got the speaker package today. I took one look, plugged them into her iPhone, hit Pandora and bingo. They sound great and very simple to use. Glad MINI is still sending out odd gifts. :Thumbsup:

    The cardboard speakers are actually made of plastic.
