Mini On-Line updated confirming my car is at the VDC. They now list a delivery date of 1-3! How realistic is this? I e-mailed my MA

Hey guys, don't get excited, it'll get here. Mine did, even with my going, absolutely nuts the last two weeks. Then there was the 7 days that it was out of communication in the mid Atlantic. Keep the faith, and patience.

I saw someone mention that the mounting points on the 2011 motor are not the same as on the previous years.

I guess the signature doesn't really represent the mod they already have. =P

It took me a while to find it again, but here's the thread where I saw this:

Pics in first post. Go down to post #20 for tvanhouten's description of the fitment on 2010 vs 2011.

My MA said they are slammed do not expect it for a week or so. I think he just checks when the trucks hit the lot unless I ask him specifically. Had no detailed onfo and Mini OL say ask the dealer. Later in the week I will get a better update as I am now out of town till Friday. I am cleaning my 2010 out before I go incase I can trade it in on my return Friday. Waiting for the new finance deal today.

Mine arrived yesterday! It was supposed to be at the dealer on 1/2, but the truck was delayed due to snow on I-5. (There was another woman there who actually showed up on Sunday only to find that her car wasn't actually there! Ouch.) I did get the 0.9% financing since I picked it up on the last day that the offer was good.

It took them from 3:30 to 7:30pm to get all the paperwork done and for them to clean and program it, so today will be my first daylight driving. Woot!

Great. At least some of the cars from the Falstaff are starting to get processed. Where did you get the car? I'm going through Mini Concord, and they said they don't deliver on weekends. Fingers crossed to pick up my car this weekend.

Still no word on the latest financial deal. I'm hoping the website will update today.

Pics?

are you sure for this 2.9%?
Awwwwwww...it really sucks from the fact that I ordered mine on Nov. 8. And mine is still not here. -__-;;

is there any running special for January, though?

Just updated on MiniUSA. 2.9% + one bonus option (Automatic Transmission, Cold Weather Package, or Bluetooth). None of those options interest me.

I ordered mine Nov 14. Not sure what the hold up is at the VDC.

Does that mean I am getting my cold package free as a bonus if I built my mini with it?

Yep and 2.9% APR. SO they will subtract 750 from your price.

I heard about the 2.9%, but definitely not the bonus option... where does it show this? I'll take whatever discounts I can get since I'm not getting my 0.9% anymore

is there anyone shopping for JCW aero kit for your mini?

I am getting quote here and there (since I had over two months of waiting, i started to dig into the price of different mod I want to do it on my mini), and price all seems different from dealership to dealership.

anyone know what is the current pricing for Prime 2011 JCW aero kit without installation?
