R56 Production Week 36 Support Group?

I figured I would officially start the week 36 production support group. I ordered my MCS on 8/23/2007.

I have confirmed though my dealer and 866-ASK-MINI that she is scheduled for production in week 36. The spec’s on the OL are now 100% correct.

Dark Silver / Black Roof & Mirrors
Premium
Sport
Convenience
Audio
Rear Fog Lights
White Turn Signals
17” Crown Spokes (performance)
Interior: Piano Black w/ Leatherette Black/Grey


Anyone else have confirmation on week 36?

Me too, I think

The 866 ASK MINI real person says I'm scheduled for Week 36 too (Although he didn't sound very confident!)

I ordered in late June. These MINIs going to the Pacific Northwest take a lot of pateince!

MIne's also DS, but with white top and mirrors.

I just bumped myself from week 36. I asked the delaer to make a change to the car... turns out the car went into prodcution yesterday so I had to re-order. Lucky for me the dealer wants the original car so I don't have to take it/loss my deposit. Look like I'll be 37/38 now. Best of luck to all you 36'ers!

Wating 2 extra weeks really hurts, but I figure 2 weeks to get some "extras" I overlooked is worth it.

OK, I feel much better now. 866 ASK MINI says my car in production and estimated completion date is Sept 6. Guess it really is week 36! Only a couple of months to go now!

I am week 36 also... thank goodness for the ASK Mini I called two weeks ago and they confirmed that I am in Week 36 production- as the owners lounge site still shows that Pepe is 'on order'....
The last few weeks are going to be the longest! thanks for starting this thread!

I like 36...

36 is a good number...

Anyway, my MA just told me that the dealership apparently "bumped" the production of my MINI up and it'd be done 9/3 and they hope to get it in the dealership by late Sept. And I was only planning to pick up no earlier than mid to late Oct.

The car was ordered 8/25 (although I think they inputed it into the system on 8/27). Order details are in my signature below... (why repeat myself? )

Awaiting Transport!

Our Red Menace MCS was born on 9/4 and is awaiting transport as of 9/5. Any W36ers able to obtain tracking info from WW? Looks like the next ship to SC (Liberty) leaves on 9/7 and arrives on 9/22. After that it's Courage leaving 9/14 and arriving 9/29. Crossing my fingers for Liberty. Give me Liberty or give me....

Ordered 8/25, production number received 8/27, born 9/4.

Makes me wish I lived on the East Coast now! My MCS should be complete today, but the first boat to Long Beach from Southampton looks like it takes a 46 day voyage and transfers at Singapore. Hope I'm wrong, but my MA did say it would take two more months. yuck

no way! you gotta be kidding me! My MA said that it should be here beginning of Oct. I really hope you're wrong!

EDIT: I checked WW, and they have a ship from Southhampton to Port Hueneme on 9/10 and 9/17 (arriving 10/1 & 10/8 respectively). Hopefully our Minis can make it on one of these ships!

Thanks kreative, I now see these ships too, after looking for Port Hueneme, and not Long Beach!

All aboard the Liberty!!!

Checked today on the WW site (thanks for the tip grey!), my MINI's going to be enjoying a nice ride across the pond on The Liberty!!

Now, anyway it gets here is nice of course, but I'm also kinda geeked that the ship's name is Liberty

Mine too was completed today 9/6!
Mpruess, I take it you are living in the Los Angels area? I ordered mine from Long Beach Mini and hopefully our two minis will be shiped together (soon). Anyone know when the next ship headed to the west coast?

9/17, 9/24, or about one every week.
