own a mini cooper

This will be my second new car, first one I buy on my own. Right now I have “kermit” a green nissan sentra. Kermit has served his purpose in my live and I have driven him so far over 200,000 miles. So I know he will be retiring soon. So can anyone tell me how their Mini buying experience was. Was it hard to pick out, alot of paper work, hard to buy, lease or finance, things of that nature. Thanks
