OMG...I just called for the first time in several days just to double check on my week 32 status and I've been bumped into week 31! It's kind of weird, because he said that I was kind of in both weeks, as it will be running through the production line starting July 31, but finishing up at the beginning of week 32. YAY!

I was originally told August 3 by the dealer, which I assumed meant Week 31. However, MUSA said it'd be week 32, which is August 4. Close enough for me. I only ordered on July 22, however, so I'm really happy to have it be built so quickly.

Chugiakgirl, I wonder if our cars will be on the same boat, and arrive in Omaha at the same time?!

( Still on course for week 32, which of course is next week. So close yet so far away. Good for you Chugiakgirl.

With a VIN, I can go get insurance and registration done ahead of time... So I can show up, slap some plates on it, and take off!

Thanks Chugiak, that is awesome news for you! I ordered on July 16th, and when I called ASKMINI this morning, they said I was still scheduled for production week 32. I checked this afternoon, and OL had finally updated to "Scheduled for Production" So I called ASKMINI again, and they told me my vehicle had "entered production"! I'm confused, does that mean I am now a week 31? Regardless, I'm excited to see something happening!

You need a VIN to get financing locked in (unless you're going through MINI FS or leasing).

Good to know. I'll get online with my bank now that I have my VIN...quick...before rates go up.

Even with a VIN, they still may not lock in a rate for more than 30 days to delivery.

New and unsure of week
Do you think I'm in week 32? Ordered my 08 Clubman (Laser Blue) on Friday (7/25) and was given the production number and VIN by the dealership this AM (Monday).
The paper from the dealer also says code 150 for "in production" and that is the code that came up for me in the owners lounge. I'm almost embarassed to be this exicted about a car at age 51!!!
I've been driving a string of 3/4 ton Suburbans for the past 23 years so it will be fun to be back in a car that is just for me again.... used to have a 1976 TR6 in my former life as a college student!

Some consider the week that their MINI's start production their actual production week, while others say it's the week production is actually complete.
So for you, you are starting in week 31 but will (most likely) be done in week 32.
You could be a part of both groups honestly! I don't think anyone would mind

Holy crap! I had family in town this weekend, and no time to obsessively check my order status. And I just now logged on and found not only my VIN#, but my Mini is going to be born on August 1st...this Friday!!! Today was one of the worse Mondays I've had in a long time, but that news has made my day MUCH better!

Welcome to all that is MINI!
Just thought I would drop in and welcome all you 2008 week 32ers from a 2007 week 32er! Reading through your posts brought back memories of the torment of waiting 
Ahhh but it is so worth it!!
I still chat with some of the people who's babies were born at the same time as mine.
Good luck and enjoy... dream... learn...
And remember when you finally take delivery - let the mods begin!
