New MINI, but not new to MINI

Ordered my new MINI today. Was on the fence about getting a new MINI with the issues I've had with my current, 2007 MINI Cooper S. But, decided to give them another go with the 2012. Extremely excited to get into the new one, just sucks that I have to wait so long! I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. Lol. This is my first "build" with MINI, so I'm a little new to the whole process and how things go. ANYWAYS, heres the build details.

2012 MINI Cooper S
Lightning Blue/Black
Carbon Black Leatherette
Anthracite headliner
Checkered Dash
Carbon Black Color Line
Rear Fogs

Sport Package
-17 inch black Conical rims
-Xenon headlights, black housing, white turn signals and retractable washers
-DTC

Cold Weather Package
-Heated seats
-Heated powerfold mirrors and washer jets

Pano Sunroof

Bluetooth USB/iPod adapter

Harmon Kardon Stereo



Hoping for a quick build!

Thanks! It's only been a few hours since I put the build in, and I'm already going crazy having to wait! It's all worth it though. This will be my first BRAND new car. So I'm extremely excited!

Well, I believe my MA said that April 16th is my beginning production date. I guess they changed one of their cars they were ordering to what I wanted, so I would get it "sooner". Lol. But she still qouted it would be probably 4-6 weeks once the production started. So that's putting me at 2-2 1/2 months from now. If I did all that math correctly. Lol.
