Howdy yall,

I am awaiting my new mini S. The dealership told me 6 - 8 weeks. It is midnight black w/ sports package w/ black web wheels and lsd. I am sooo excited so im here to tell the world! lol


any one have advise on what will void warranty and what will not? or link me to thread.

 

Congratulations! Waiting is painful, but it's a good pain

 

Yay, I'm excited for you!! Did you just place your order recently? I just put down a deposit, but am waiting to order a 2010 MINI...but the wait is going to kill me because right now I don't even know how long it will be! I'm hoping to be driving my new car in October, but we'll see.

 

Yes, i just ordered my car a about 2 weeks ago... i am checking the website but it seems as if my mini is still on order... does anyone know how long it usually takes? or is the website just running slow? after all dealer said 6-8 weeks

 

The website has a huge lag - check out this thread for an in-depth tracking guide:

The easiest thing to do is call 866.ask.mini and use the automated system and your production number to get the current status. If your MA provideed you with a spec/order sheet it will have an estimated production week on it as well.

 

awww.... thank you very much for that link! it is very helpful ^.^

 

Wow -- I am jealous of your mileage. Assume that is highway. I only have 1200 miles on my '09 MCS and I can't keep my foot out of the turbo. I am about 24 mpg in mainly in town driving so far. Physics is hard to defeat...if you want to play with 172 HP you have to PAY for 172 HP worth of gas .....

 

Mine is on the boat...feels like 4 months of waiting, but will be worth it

 

Yes, it's mostly highway. We live 12 miles from groceries and 40 miles from daughters.

Lolly averages about 6 mpg better than our former 2007 MCSm. I miss the turbo, but like the fuel economy. With 3 plus-size adults on board, Lolly just holds her own on hills.

At 60 mph, Lolly gets 43 mpg. I would like to try a tankful at 45 mph, but it really would not be safe with everyone else passing impatiently. It is bad enough at 60!

 

SO my LOOOOONG awaited MiMi is finally here! I picked up my baby on 9/25th with everything i wanted: sports package w/blk web, lsd, multi function wheel, and bonnet strips (PICTURES SOON TO COME!). On the very next day i got my tint and cilajet done. I finally have MiMi all to myself today... ::sigh:: what a good feeling. This is going to be a fun adventure driving MiMi.... <3


much love...
