Soon-to-be F56 owner here!

Hi all,

Just wanted to introduce myself.

I have a 2015 MCS Hardtop in British Racing Green on order, and currently "Scheduled for Production" as of 9/16/15 according to the snapshot my dealer (MINI of Stevens Creek) sent me. My full build list is as follows:

16" Victory Spoke Black
JCW Leather Multifunction Wheel
Comfort Access
Black Bonnet Stripes
Black Roof/Mirror Cap
Anthracite Headliner
Center Armrest
Storage Package
Heads Up Display
Wired Pack
Sport Auto Trans w/Paddle Shifters

I'm still debating if I'm gonna get the full suite of Black Jack graphics, but either way, I'm super excited to take delivery, hopefully in October sometime.

Nice to meet everyone!

Welcome indeed! Don't forget to look at the "How To Track Your MINI" thread in the "First Gear" forum! I found it quite a fun, if somewhat frustrating, experience. Of course, I did go just the slightest bit OCD on mine, even making an animated GIF of the ship it was on coming through the Panama Canal... :D

I'm definitely signed up for the Owner's Lounge now, thanks to the 1st Gear section. According to the screenshot my dealer sent me, I've been assigned a VIN, the status is 151 - Entry Body Shop/serial # assign, and the Estimated Production Date is today, 9/16/14.

Does anyone know if the new F56's are being built in the UK still, or has production moved down to Mexico? Just trying to get a ballpark idea as to when I might be able to expect delivery (assuming cars are getting released on/around 10/1 for the whole EPA shenanigans).

MINI has arrived at port, and now just waiting for her to get loaded up for the trip across the Atlantic!

Attached my configurator shots, which is the best I'll have for now, haha.
