Glad to hear.. mine should be right beside it..

 

Bhatch- I'm guessing my car is on that train too. Did Brian say how many days after that for PDI?

 

I have pics posted, it's in this thread in the R56 forum:

I picked it up yesterday, totally great car

 

don't worry guys (and gals).. every day is one day closer to that start/stop button..
its coming..

 

And still at least a couple weeks for us West-coasters! :impatient

There's just something about the last few days! My wife bet me that I'd schedule the delivery appointment as early as possible, even if it meant that I would have to take a day off...

 

You gotta take the day off.

 

i already told my boss that i am not comming in the day i get my car.

 

I'm hoping for an afternoon delivery that I can just skip out early on....

 

aaahh... working from home is great!!! just like today!
too bad i have an exam next week - anyone think i'll get any studying done??

 

It seems there's a consensus! It's not a problem for me to get the day off, but her office will be short-staffed the week we're likely to see delivery. It'll be her first new car too, so I'd hate for her to miss it.

Looks like our ship's arrival date got bumped up an extra day, so I'm hoping everything goes smoothly and arrives on a weekend...

 

I assume your dealer is Northwest Mini, have you asked them what there time is for doing the PDI. Some dealers take as long as several days. From past delivery times from the VDC to WA, I would estimate your Mini arriving the week of 10/29, if that is of any help.

 

Yep NW Mini, their estimate is 'in a couple weeks' from now. I get the impression that my level of MiniOCD is more unusual there, cause of their wait times the more excited buyers seem to got out of state. I try not to bother them too much, I'm a purchasing agent with customer's orders of my own to keep track of, so I can identify with what they have to deal with.

People always want specific dates, and especially so when the timeline is almost completely outside of your control

I figure that if the ship's scheduled to arrive Saturday the 20th, that means unloading and waiting until Monday the 22nd, three days at the VDC (the 25th), then trucking time up being delivered the 27th or 29th, then three more prep/setup days gives a realistic date of Nov 1st, assuming everything goes smoothly.

 

After seeing you had ordered 5 days after Skeeter, figured you went with NWM. The day we took delivery there was a couple taking delivery of their Mini, they flew
down from WA and was going to make the trip back up by way of the Napa valley. They wanted to avoid the wait time of NWM.

Hopefully you will take delivery and still have a bit of decent weather to enjoy your Mini before winer hits.

 

My mini is on the lot, it was confired to be in good condition, i will check it out later tonight.

I scheduled Wednesday the 24th for pickup.

I will post pics like eveyone else of the sports hatch :P

 

Hey Bhatch -- Find out if you have the lower door seals!

 

Nice! Looking forward to seeing pictures!

 

I just walked to the Downtown dealership but I did not see my mini there. I will take another look after work but the waiting is just killing me now.

 

i could call the dealer to confirm.. or - i could pop by there after work..
hmm..

 

I'm missing something,what's the sports hatch?

I will check for lower door seals, I took delivery of my week 39 mini on Saturday.

 

Sports Hatch, it a sporty hatch.


HERE is the car, in all it's dirty pre PDI state...
(see attachments)

 

your baby has arrived!!!!!!!!!!

 

Got the call from my MA yesterday. Taking delivery sometime next week.

 

picked up my car thursday!

 

Keep forgetting to check this thread out. Seems I'm moored in the Figaro one all the time. Anyway, Rasmussen Mini in Portland told me they average 10-14 days after it hits the VDC to delivery to the owner. So I agree that for us Seattleites, it's gonna be around the 1st. I'm hoping to get it on that Saturday, hang out with buddies in Portland, and get the clearbra done on Monday down there, and drive home that day.
