JCW Fresh Start - Build Week 37

Fresh Start - Build Week 37
So the main BMW VIN Decoder seems to be down so I'm using this one.
http://www.bmwvin.com
So I know from my MA that my JCW is going to be built this week so I punch in my VIN # and get some build date like 1- 1-10. So I type in a VIN with 5 digits less than mine and it gives todays date as the build date.
I just typed in 1 number away from mine and I get the 1-1-11 thing. So I realise that mine will be built in the next few hours. They have built 12 JCW US/CN models today.
Then this wave came over me. I'm thinking what time is it in Oxford right now...and I realise that my car is going to be built at 2am in the morning!!!
I hope it is not the same crew that built my last JCW! (Lemon part 2) I think that 2am must be the equivalent of the "Friday car"....
I'm thinking I should go to church this evening!!! Fingers and toes and crossed.

I remember when I was following my r59 three years ago. I would go to MINI/owners to follow it and it would come up with my previous build. Then I would use the VIN, I think that was it, and it came up with an 08 build date and time and say delivered at port. You're right, I love the cars that they build, but the following them, and the dealer people could stand some upgrading. In our business we often refer to World Class Service, even though I hate that phrase, I think that MINI/USA should start teaching their people this type of service.
