Week 15 Support Group

I don't see a Week 15 yet (even after a search), so I figure I might as well start one.

I was just talking to mini (ASK-MINI) and it looks like I'm scheduled for Production next week (April 7th-12th), and it should be completed during this time as well. Looks like that's Week 15, or so they tell me.

I've ordered a Clubman S in Pepper White with Black roof, and lots of extras. Heh, more than I'd like to admit.

So... Anyone else hitting week 15?

I believe I am Week 15 as well. 2nd Week of April. The MA at Checkered Flag MINI told me that my Clubman was going in production in the 3rd week of April. However, when I emailed him about my production number after putting in the order a week later from March 12th, he responded with good news.
I apologize for not getting the production number to you sooner. It is xxxxxxx. There is good news as well, as the production date for your car was pushed up a week so that the car will go into production the 2nd week of April as opposed to the 3rd week. As for the Ray cloth/ Pacific Blue interior, the standard interior surface color is piano black which is what you requested and what we ordered. I think there may be some confusion, as the clubman that we have in the showroom that has that interior also has the piano black interior color. Let me know if there are any other questions that you have.
Can't it be done any faster. It's robots that does the hard part in putting these cars together, right? Program them to work faster! Everything else is quality assurance? Tell them to stop sleeping on the job! LOL.

Just got word I'm scheduled for week 15. AB MCS...can't wait.

Anyone have a ballpark of when I can expect to get the car (from Princeton MINI)? Or is it too early to tell?

I know I'm impatient

I'm iin San Diego and I might just end up being pushed over into week 15...Right now my MINIs in the paint shop (today) and they said it would either finish saturday which is still considered week 14, or sunday which is considered week 15! So, I'm not sure. I'm going to try and not call Ask MINI at all anymore...maybe that will make things move quicker............

Yay,

My status finally changed and it looks like mine is in production (started on the 4th), and should be completed on the 10th.

It's gonna suck after it's done and we have to wait forever for it to get to the west coast. :(

It is going to suck for the west coasters. Especially us in the pacific northwest. I'm in Oregon but ordered mine from the Tacoma MINI dealership.

Just called and my Clubman is in the body shop!!!! Scheduled for completion tomorrow!!

One step closer.

Winnie is waiting in line for the body shop and has a completion date for this Friday, the 11th! Not bad, 2 weeks after we put our order in and she's all built!

Week 15 here as well I suppose.

Placed my order for Nyarlhotep on 3/22. Owners lounge just updated from On Order to Scheduled for Production yesterday, I called ASKMINI this AM and they say my DS/B MCS Coupe is currently in the body shop and should be complete by 4/9

My MA had initially said I should take delivery in the first week of May. I would be way too happy if this worked out to be true.

Guess it's time to get my finance app in.

It seems as though the MA's have been telling me an advanced date of the MINI status. For example, (a week ago, Mar 31st) MA tells me that the production of my car will begin on April 7th and takes 5-7 days to complete. He calls on April 7th and tells me that its been completed and awaiting to be put on the boat. Will take 2-3 weeks to finally arrive. So maybe he means to say that it's already here at the dealership and we are making sure it's shown to the public since it's a distinct Clubman. No one has added the 'helipad' graphic to their roofs, yet. I was told.

They should be able to call and leave a message. That's part of their top customer service. If that does not work, email the MA. They're in front of the computer most of the time, checking and answering email .. I guess. The owner's lounge doesn't even match the status from what the MA vouches. I apologize to say this .. BUT .. It's a week behind.

Not all Mini will ship using WW. Some go on the K-line and I think there is another one that I'm not remembering. I would ask your MA. They can tell you.

in production

Hello, I’m new. I just checked the owners lounge and my status still says production. It’s driving me crazy. The site was down practically all day yesterday... that was a dark time.
