My hope is that all 29ers......East, West, North and South will be motoring by Labor Day

 

That would be awesome... delivery time is getting closer by the day!

 

My advice would be to contact the sales manager to share your frustrations. Unless his/her boss knows their MA's customers are frustrated, things will never change, and your MA will continue to be useless. Hopefully the manager will be more engaged than your MA is. IMO the folks at the AskMini number are VERY helpful, and will certainly give you more info. than you are getting from your MA.

 

Note when using the OL to track your Mini and when it is reported to be at the VDC, if you click the details of vehicle (where your VIN is displayed) it will now show an estimated delivery date.

 

I just checked mine and it finally changed in the OL to at Distribution center. (Ship actually docked 7/31 in Charleston.) The estimated delivery date is 8/5!!!! That's Tuesday!!!! I'm guessing the dealer will still need a few days with all my UJ stuff to add... BUT I'm so excited!!!!!!

 

That is great news.

 

Don't forget pic everyone.

 

So I was thinking about how we are going to identify ourselves as 29ers. I love the badge idea.
Perhaps for the sake of this message board, we could add an identifier to our signature so that down the road when we are all out motoring and not posting here everyday, we can still recognize one another.
Something like 29er or 29-08 or two nine

 

While I like the idea, I think the odds of my running into another 29'er in Arizona is null. I also don't like any stickers of any kind on my car. For me, I like the idea of a signature badge of some sort

 

don't be so sure, superg!!!
i may already be planning a trip to chandler. . . no not to see you
my best friend moved there about a year ago, and when she heard
about my mini she started pestering me about coming to visit, and
reminding me how much trouble it is to fly. lol

 

Just checked the OL and got the same news!

Looks like I'll be cruising in a few days.

 

We'll, make sure to let me know if you do visit . We'll do lunch Where do you live?

 

campbell, ca

i will not come until i am sure that the monsoon season is over. the heat i can almost handle, but the humidity, and my friend is a masochist who does not like to run her AC. last i heard she had not yet used it this year.

 

That's crazy. Just tell her you'll visit sooner IF she turns her AC on

 

Here are the accessories I have ready for her already:
- Alta 4" stubby antenna
- Mats
- Glove box organizer
- UV sunshade
- Pulsar third brake light controller
- grocery bag hook
- keychain
- valve stem caps
- Hydro, glass cleaner, and car wash concentrate

That should do it for now

 

Need something to do while waiting for your new Mini? I have attached a "2007" Owners Manual in PDF format. Enjoy

 

Has everyone decided on how they want their Programmable Options set up?

Some dealers will charge to have the Options re-programmed after delivery.

 

Are they only able to programed by the dealer? And what is able to be programmed, is there a list of things in the manual or if not, do you know?

 

I have, but I'm still waiting for my MA to send me the form

 

I have NAV, so I should be able to program it all myself with little difficulty. I think it is all part of the graphic interface.

On non-NAV cars, I think it has to be done by the dealer.

 

Nope. Non-Nav cars can be programmed by their owners. See owners manual above

 

It's in the manual, you can do it yourself
