Thanks! Ordered from Century MINI in South Carolina. My MA said 5 weeks from date of order. Crossing my fingers he is right!

Mine has not updated to my specs yet and still shows On Order. But then I just ordered two days ago and the OL is slow in getting the most current info. I keep having to remind my self to be patient. We'll see how that goes as time passes!:impatient

the owners lounge takes a while to update and it does not always update the full option list so if something is "missing" from your option list dont worry that is just a system issue... your MA should be able to send you a text shee that we use to order the cars and it will show your options on that! and your production number...

My MA provied the build sheet you speak of. I actully had to sign off on it to accept the car as ordered. My OL specs are 100% correct.

I just called ASK-MINI and asked for my production start date... She told me September 10, week 36. I said are you sure on week 36 as that should be this week, she put me on hold and came back and said yes, you're week 36 production. I don't know how seeing as September 10 is next week?!?

From researching on the Oxford factory, average production time for a Mini is three to five days, with approx 4,300 units being produced weekly.

Maybe I am in week 36?

When I called ASK-MINI this morning the automated system stated I was in production, so I transfered to a live person and she said the car went into production this morning and was shceduled to be completed no later than 9/12/07.

Is your production week based on when the car starts production or when it's completed?

just called "ask Mini" and was told my car was in/going to the paint booth and was started work on 9/2 = should be done in a few days?? I do find it strange that cars are ordered here on very different days but have very different start dates... I ordered my Mini on 8/31 and it's born on 9/2 = I was told that EB Mini was fast??? As of now it looks correct - its still very eary in the "birth" anything can happen to slow things up... I am Not holding my breath...

1 day behind my estimated completion. Looks like the next ship from SOUTHHAMPTON to PORT HUENEME is 9/17 - The Tasco. There is one before this but it departs before your completion.
