It is nice when you don't have to wait too long! Glad you got your MINI so fast. I got mine in 5 weeks- so you got me beat. Happy motoring.

Ordered mine on 4/19 and my guess is that the earliest it could be here would be after 5/21. Congrats and happy motoring!

Mine was exactly 4 weeks from order to getting behind the wheel and driving off! Yea, a lot faster than I thought. My MA said it would be 4-5 weeks. I assumed the usual and figured it would really take 6 to 8 weeks. But it was right on time every step of the way.

Congrats! Ordered mine on April 1st also. Dealer is expecting it within the next 7 days. Unfortunately, I'm having oral surgery next Thursday (will be heavily medicated, hopefully) not in any shape to drive my new baby.

Buy the way, how long were you at the dealership when you picked up your new MINI? Just wondering if this is a half day event or can I muster through a couple of hours?

Quit complaining and enjoy - order mid-april waiting for a Sept. delivery. I would love a month turnover. Enjoy the car and let us know what you think
