We're in the same group.... I've been checking and not seen any movement from "scheduled for production" for a while now. I called the "live people" and was told it's completion should be Sep 6th.
You'll get yours before me, I'm sure, as mine has the Panama Canal to negotiate before arriving on the West Coast.

Looking forward to seeing it move out of production by next Friday!

Port Loc. = BALPOA
Order Status = 112-Scheduled for daily
Priority = 1-Customer Sold
UPDATE: I just called ASK MINI. The MINI rep said the "112-Sceduled for daily" refers to an order 'pack'. 'Pack 112' is a group of MINIs that were assigned for production by MINI for particular dealerships on August 2nd, which was actually 15 days before I ordered my Roadster S. Thus, my car slipped into a slot previously allocated to my dealer. I guess that's a good thing...

I checked my VIR today, I am also in "Pack 112"....my production started Mon. Looks like it's a pretty big pack, I wonder if mine will ship faster than those of you with the later production dates, or stay as a Pack and ship out together.

On my order date of 8/17, I was told 9/2 for production and 9/26 for delivery by my Sales Manager. You went into production earlier, so you may ship quicker too. I'm taking all dates with a grain of salt - I have my Budget rental car [Fiat 500] until 10/05 just to make sure I'm covered. Fortunately, Budget will refund the difference if I return the Fiat 500 early.

Congratulations on your successful update!
The ASK MINI rep just said my Roadster S is scheduled for production the first week of September, provided the factory doesn't encounter any 'delays'. Assuming no 'delays', this corresponds precisely with the September 2nd production date given by the Sales Manager on August 17th, the date of my order. I hope she's correct!

I'm absorbing ASK MINI news updates cautiously. It only takes one thing to screw up the timetable for a sophisticated machine being produced in England.

4 weeks down and 4 to go

For the posters pondering shipping logistics I just happened to hear about a new book on NPR this afternoon that is about freight shipping. "Ninety Percent of Everything: Inside Shipping, the Invisible Industry That Puts Clothes on Your Back, Gas in Your Car, and Food on Your Plate."
Sounds intriguing.
Sounds intriguing.

I just dug out my VIR as well -- I'm part of the 112 Pack. So, I guess we're all in it together. I wish the OL website would update a little more often - it still says - 'On Order'. It's a pain for me to call into Mini until mid-September -- I'm on a project in Perú and telecommunications are sometimes quite chancy, so the website is a much better option... except for the fact that it does not update.

I think mine should be completed by now!! I'll call next week, don't want to call twice in the same week.

To my surprise, it came up listed as "Booked", then "Received at Terminal", etc. I know this doesn't work if your car is scheduled to be shipped on K-line, but I never did get to talk to Ask MINI during my waiting period.
Hope this may work for you as well.

Next week should be big week on this thread for orders moving out of production to transport!!!!

Hello everyone, does anyone know if the 2013s are built separate from the 2014s? I have a 2013 cooper s on order and have been on the 2013 thread but I've also been following here a bit and it seems I'm more in line with the MINIs here than with the 2013s. Production of Scooter is scheduled to be complete next week on the 4th and I see alot of others in this thread have similar completion dates.

3 days after your scheduled completion date, it should be at the Southampton port to be loaded on a cargo ship. So on Sept 7-8, try the WW shipping website, enter your VIN number into the "search cargo" box, and it hopefully it will be there and you can follow. If it ships on K-line, the shipping search process is more complex (see other sticky threads for more info).
