2007 vs 2008 MCS

My MA said that today is the last day that I can order a 2007. Is that only tied to the number of build spots that the dealer has, or will there be a hard cutoff by Mini?

I'm guessing that if this is true that tomorrow the 2008 configurator will be active?

Thanks, Larry

Last day to order?

Very curious to hear the answer to this. I was told on 11/3 that it was the last day to order a 2007 MCS so I rushed and ordered even though we were still deciding on a few things. I just didnt want to wait until February to receive an '08, which is what I was told I'd have to do if I didnt order.

Was I given a line? If so, I'd love to know that I'm dealing with dishonest people at the Mini dealership for future dealings. Is it possible that different dealers had different cutoffs?

Here's a thread with info on the new configurator. As far as production slots for '07 vs. '08, it depends on the dealer. Some have probably used up their allocation for '07's and have had to start selling '08's.

It looks like the new configurator is now up.

Yep...

...The 2008 configurator is up, and my saved cars are all different prices now due to the package changes.

I wouldn't count on it being right yet either. For example, the Sports Package says that the Xenon lights are included, but my MA says that isn't what they have been told.

I wish that I could hold them to that-that's a $500 option that I want.

07 SPORT PKG INCLUDED XENON. I THINK YOUR MA IS TRYING TO FORCE YOUR ORDER BEFORE THE SITE CHANGES! NOT!

The "last day" is probably based on when the last open production slot for your dealer's allocation was slated to go into production.

That makes sense...

This is probably true because today he said that he would have to ask another dealer for one of their slots.

Thanks for everyone's help. Hopefully I can get this thing ordered soon so I can start the pain of waiting!
