I just ordered my 2012 this past Saturday after lots of shopping around. I'm super excited.

 

First, welcome!!!

Second, what model, what options, color, transmission... just a few of those things???

 

It will be a lightning blue Hardtop S with a black roof, black stripes, black headlamp housings, fog lamps, automatic trans, anthracite headliner, piano black dash, carbon black color line, harman/kardon sound system, ipod adapter, winter package, sport package, black jack side scuttles, black jack rear view mirror, 17" black web spoke wheels (all black & blue theme).
Stoked!

 

Very nice... if you have not already check out the How to Track your MINI: Revised, Expanded and Updated sticky thread at the top of this forum section... great info on how to keep track of you Mini.

 

I've just been using the Owner's Lounge. It's gonna drive me crazy watching it constantly (not that that will stop me..).

 

Once it going to Scheduled for Production, then about a week to 10 days for it to get off the line... then waiting for a ship and finally loaded on a ship... mine has almost made it to Baltimore, and I will still have another week to get it home.

 

Given another week before it's in Baltimore, how long total would you say it's taken?

 

If mine gets to me by 5/30, which I'm thinking is due-able, that would be less than 6 weeks.

Ordered: 4/23
Scheduled for Production: 4/29
Born: 5/9
Shipped: 5/14 (Integrity)
Baltimore: 5/23
Ship arrives, clear customs, off load, and go over to VDC (Vehicle Distribution Center)... a day or so there, then 3 days to home.
VDC: 5/26
Dealership: 5/29
Home: 5/30

Most of which is guess work from the ship pulling in on Wed, 5/23... but even if my Mini gets home by 6/4 that would be 6 weeks exactly.

 

Sweet. Thanks.

 

Congrats and welcome to the Mini World.
Great site and lots of good info available.
Car sounds wonderful.
