Proud soon-to-be member of the last of the R55's

Ordered mine yesterday and it was no small feat. Mini has stopped accepting orders per MINI USA customer service. Getting assistance from local area sales manager to push mine through. An instant classic and soon-to-be extinct.
Long live the r55.

Wierd.. I just heard the new Clubman won't be out until 2015..? The 5door f55 will be the next new car out.. I heard the Clubman R55 would end production in June.

wow, that seems really early to end production.

if we had a 3rd garage an R55 would be in it right now. I am so bummed they are going to BMW-ize that car.

Always has been the coolest looking Mini in my opinion.

Glad you got the order through!

Well, think the consensus is production will run through May into June (unconfirmed) but according to Mini customer service they have stopped accepting individual orders.
