OL changed for me this morning, 5 days after arriving at the port. My delivery is showing 8/17. I think I have actually seen trucks unloading cars at the dealer on Sundays.

Likewise, my OL status changed this morning to at dealer. Delivery date is still 8/10? but I expect to pick it up Thursday or Friday, as my dealer is only 4 hours from the VDC!

Wow. Congrats to all. The day is finally arriving.
I have been tracking the Don Juan and it should have arrived today at Brunswick, GA so I am hoping that I will get a confirmation soon.
Crossing my fingers for the 2 day stay at the VDC.
I guess in the mean time I will be visiting the local meeting of Minis of Miami tomorrow to see some of my friends.


Great pics BTW keep them coming.

Great news Sexual It will take about 48 hours for your status to change on OL. Your MA may have a better idea of when they expect your MINI.

Finally arrived after OL status said it was at the dealership last Friday. Actually went by over the weekend and peaked in the windows to see if it was there ... but couldn't find it. MA called yesterday at noon and said I could pick it up today at 5pm. They put the new wheels on, but didn't have time to detail it so I have to go back for a free detail sometime.

Anyway ... here is a pic I took as soon as I got it home.

I was quoted at 8 hours of "At Dealer Prep" for the car. Mine arrived saturday afternoon last week, and I took delivery monday night 7pm. These last few hours will be the worst!

Enjoy motoring though, its worth every second of waiting.

8 hours is unreasonable!!

Especially considering that I work less than 3 miles from the dealership and can be there in less than 10 minutes...

They probably quoted that to you because they had other cars to run through dealer prep. I have been told that unless there is a ton of dealer installed elements that it should take them no more than 1.5 hours from driving it off the truck to pulling off all the shipping bits to getting the paperwork up to the MA...

Not that I overly care... (I have only been to one in 14 years and I live less than two miles from Woodward...) But, the Woodward Dream Cruise is happening this weekend and this will be the first time that I have an automobile that would look acceptable on the cruise...

Surprising news

Whoohoooo. I'll be picking it up this afternoon!!.
Why do I feel like a kid getting his first new car?

Just letting you know what I was told.

If they DO tell you that it will take this long, I'd say just tell them to leave the plastic on everything, that you'll get it yourself to save time.

good luck.

Wow. This is so cool. All of our cars are arriving around the same time. Love the picture. Great rims. I am going to check to see if my status changed. Congrats to all who have received their minis. I am jealous.

1.5 hours seems completely unreasonable to me. My car arrived either wed or thurs of last week and I visited it thurs night. granted it is black, but it was pretty dirty from travel and needed a full detail which takes some time in itself, not to mention the fact that there was at least 11 other cars that looked like came off the same truck to be prepped. If not for the clear bra, I would have had delivery last saturday , or late fri at the earliest.

Point is, unless the dealer gets barely any MINI's at a time, to expect same day or even next would be expecting too much, imho.

I'm not trying to sound like a ***** and dash your hopes, just don't want you to be dissapointed if it is later than you expect.

Look forward to seeing pics of your new mini! one of these days I'll post some of mine
