R58 MINI Coupe Roll Call
#77
#78
PezRadar, if your production number is 363xxxx, then my coupe should be going into production. My prod number is 3629xxx... Fingers crossed, maybe I will call 866-ASK-MINI to see if there is a status update.
*Update*
Just called ASK-MINI and the rep. says that my Coupe is still in "On Order"/"Scheduled for Prod. Pack" (whatever that means, none of the reps seem to know that status code). Not sure what order they are going by when scheduling for production. Oh well, guess wondering about it won't get it built any faster. Would be nice to see some progress on it though. Bummer.

Geez,
I ordered mine in July, and I'm still ON ORDER. My guy says I was scheduled for week 36 - but now showing week 39!!!!???
I don't have connected/nav so that can't be it. I DO have ipod/bluetooth and HK. Maybe that has delayed us?? I'm bummed. I was hoping to get some motoring in before the snow flies here in Boston!!

It's kind of strange. I don't have Nav or Connected. Just like you. Only HK and USB/Ipod
Not sure what gives.

Mine was a week 36 build (which according to one of the reps is this week). I only have the HK system (no connect/Nav/Ipod). I cannot imagine the HK would be holding anything up. Well, it is only Wednesday. I just hope our Coupes can be built and on the dock for the Platinum Ray leaving for the West Coast on the 14th (going to be a close call).

So there are 2 Coupes in production, yours and PatM's. It'll be a race to the docks from here on out. I remember some person tracking his car in 07 or 08, and he could determine the speed of the boat, the wind, the whole deal. Actually someone else did it for him it was hilarious. These might be the first ever Coupes to be owned in the USA .

Yeah, the Sept 14th boat is looking unlikely. I am assuming that K-Line doesn't ship to the West Coast. However, WW does use other boats and shipping lines to supplement their fleet. But if it is on WW, then the next boat is the Asian King leaving Southampton on 9/27 and arriving in Port Hueneme on 10/19.

I still don't believe my Week 38 build was upgraded and in production (I have MINI Connect).
I called 1-866-ASK-MINI to confirm and spoke to someone personally.
He pulled it up on their system and confirmed that it was 'In Production' and said the online website would reflect it being 'In Production' in the next 24-48 hours.
YAY

I believe the build time is around 8 days. My understanding is that the first 5 days or so are for lining up all the parts prior to the actual building process. So, that means it should be completed on or before Saturday 9/16. If it is still the same process as when I ordered my first MINI. But at least it is under way and one step closer to completion.

Still no movement for mine with production number 365*. I called ASK-MINI and the agent had no additional information and that it was in the initial scheduled for production with no assigned build date state.
OL still shows the ON Order state it's been in all along.
I know, patience is a virtue. I must be quite virtuous...
