That's good. Mine hasn't made it on the ship yet. I should call my MA to inquire about it.

Side note, I found a 2010 Clubman S in the same color that I want. The price is pretty low now due to the fact that the person can't sell it. The price difference after tax between the used and the new one is 14% right now. I'm debating which one I should go with. The used one has a TON more options on the car as well. *sigh* The car has 12500 miles on it. It used to be owned by a dealership and I guess they used it as a loaner or something. I'm confused now: New or Used.

866-ASK-MINI says mine is "scheduled for production", but she wasn't able to give me a date.

I would suggest calling your MA...he/she should be able to get more information, from personal experience.

The 2011 S has the Valvetronic system instead of the previous (2007-2010) timing chain setup, which some owners (me included) had trouble with. I'd go for the 2011.

Oh, I didn't know that! I did read on this forum that many people had the timing chain issue. Well, I hope the Valvetronic system is more stable. I'll do a little research.

Thanks for the information. I tell you, the people on this forum is so helpful!

Another difference is the new engine gets about 4 more hp and slightly higher gas mileage.

What determines week n or week 14. Is it when production starts? or when the car rolls off the assembly line. My MINI began the approx. 7 / 8 day process on March 23. Estimated completion is April 1. I am not sure if this is week 12, 13, or 14?

I didn't even realize gas milage and HP is different. Well, I'm going to stick with my custom order.

Ordered 3/22.
OL says "Scheduled For Production" as of this morning.
ASK-MINI says 4/6

Sold my current car yesterday (sold way faster than I was expecting). Yeah...I'm ready.

Yipppeee! ASK-MINI now says my CM (I need to name my car, btw) is now "In Production, with a completion date of April 8"!!

Congrats..the wait seems to last forever. I remember when I got my estimated completion date, I was happy too. Then the waiting period came....it drove me craaazzzyyy.....

What's your spec?

No kidding. My CMS is still on the 150 status. April 6 seems like a long way away.

EDIT: Opps, just noticed your signature. Looks like you will have your MINI before the end of April .

Light White Countryman w/ white roof, premium pkg, convenience pkg, spoiler, heated sport seats, fog lights, white turn signals, chrome line interior, 2 part center rail, silver wheels. Not loaded up, but just shiny & comfy enough for me. Hoping to paint on some dark grey bonnet stripes soon after arrival.

Count us in! Just got the offer acceptance from our MA after putting in an order on Sunday. This will be our third (see sig) and will be replacing my wife's 2007 MCa.

Specs:

PW/B Clubman S
Auto
Cloth, heated seats
Crome Int
Bluetooth/Ipod
Roof Rails
White turn sigs
Arm Rest
Blk Sports Stripes
A bunch of accessories including Window Tint and floor mats

Super excited! Thanks Amanda!

I hope so!!!! I wish I have a time machine to take me to end of April.

I found out last night "max" is scheduled for week 14. Now the real waiting begins.

Hey raysmax, I call my MIMI Max too, I spell it Maxx though. I wonder how may Minis called Max are out there?

Buck

I'm a little paranoid right now.

My MINI is in production, according to ASK-MINI, but when I review the order detail in the owner's lounge the entire convenience package is missing.

I'm hoping it's included in the whole "MINI Connected with Navigation" piece, since that's offered as a package.

My dealer assures me it's there.

Mine is missing the convenience package on the OL as well. A printout from the dealership shows the package is there.

That makes me feel better. It's on my printout as well. And included in my price.

It looks like MINI extended their March promotions to MINIs delivered by May 2.

Too bad I won't see mine until May 12 at the earliest.

The Undine is docked right now

Yeah...almost makes we wish I'd ordered the whole premium package instead of leaving out the sunroof. Might have been able to save money in the end.

Oh, well...

And the odds of getting it before May 2nd are really slim anyway.

Undine is underway.
