Just put my deposit on a 2010 MCS

2010 Mini Cooper S
Laser Blue/Black
6 Speed, 16" Bridge spoke
White turn signals
Anthracite Headliner
Piano Black trim
Checkered cloth
Bluetooth/iPod
MFSW
Auto AC
its pretty basic...

My MA said production should begin mid-august and it should be an early-to-mid November delivery! Can't wait!

He wasn't sure on the pricing changes yet. He said MSRP is expected to go up possibly by $700 at the most If it doesnt go up too much I might add the Xenons! I should know the pricing changes in about a week or two!

Yay! I put down a deposit a few weeks ago, so it sounds like it may be time to call my MA to lock down my config! You said you didn't know pricing yet, but were there any package or option changes from the 2009s?

Ordered my 2010 Clubman S friday and the premium package now includes Harmon Kardon Sterio which I've had before on BMW's. I doubt the cost will rise more than 1.5% max which means $450 on a $30,000 car. My MA thought he would have pricing Aug 1. Why would an order now not come in until Nov? That doesn't sound right even for a 2010 which starts production Sept 1.

I've had a deposit down since Jun 1 to hold the first allocation for 2010 through Schomp Mini, but still haven't heard anything. Are you guys saying your dealer(s) had the configurations and options for 2010, but no price yet? If that's the case, it might be time for me to head to the dealer! I've been waiting to see what changes there are for 2010 before submitting the order, just been holding on to an allocation slot at this point.

In my experience, pretty much. In other words, there weren't brochures or new shiny pictures of the new options and features available at the dealership on the '10 models, but I was able to go on and actually place the order for my configuration, as the new options were in MINI's system. The ETA I was given is about 10 weeks.

MINI of Nashville had just put up the sample colors for the two new interior colors and had, as of Saturday morning, just gotten in the details on the premium package including the H/K stereo upgrade. My MA was able to order my 2010 with full specs and options, but to the extent that there may be further changes beyond those I've seen mentioned on NAM already (HK stereo, new interior color options, some of the premium options now being standard (multifunction steering wheel), shift from LSD), I didn't hear any details. Price information should be available in no more than a couple of weeks, and the estimate I was given is a $750 increase.

The dealer said they can submit an order for a 2010, but it didn't show them any pricing yet. As for the xenons, I know they are a factory option, my MA said I can make changes to the order before it goes into production.

And as for November, thats when we negotiated I want the car. My dads BMW lease ends in November, and they will waive his disposition fee when we get the MINI.

My MA said he will email me the pricing on the car and options as soon as it becomes available. Probably this week.

I'm so excited!

Anyone know what the new interior color options are? Are they leather or cloth or combo? Ordered a 2010 Pure Silver Clubman S and got Tuscan leather because I wanted a light color but I could be persuaded to go for a red leather or gray.

I'll be honest, I didn't pay a lot of attention to them because I already knew I wanted black, but I think they were both browns and both leather. I know one was a kind of caramel/toffee color of leather, but I can't quite remember the details of the other one.

Im in the same boat..
I am going to the Nashville dealer also. I have not put any deposit because I wanted to see the new options coming before I did. Now I am wondering if it would be better to put inthe deposit to atleast get in line.
November? That sounds waaay to long for going into production in September, no?

BTW..where did you find the new model info at the Nashville dealer online? I cannot seem to locate any thing on their site.

I'm not the OP, so don't want to hijack the OP's thread here, but I think the OP mentioned that he specifically negotiated for a November date. I ordered mine last Saturday and was given an expected arrival date of 10/1 for September/week 36 production.

I don't think there's any info on the Nashville website just yet. I got my info at the dealership, and the two new interior colors are up on the right wall near the back of the showroom. If you don't want to stop in just yet, though, there's contact info on the Nashville site where you can e-mail the MAs for details. I worked with Richey Shaffer, who was tremendously helpful and laid-back.

Pricing info is still not available, but they may have some more specifications on the 2010 upgrades and production schedule.
