When do you expect to take delivery?

My MA told me the first week in June, but it would be nice
if it were sooner!

I ordered on April 22nd, called 866-ASK-MINI a few days ago, and was told my Coop will be completed on May 17th, putting me squarely in this group, eh?

Cooper S – Hyper Blue / white (w/ white R84s), 6-speed
Cold Weather Package
LSD
DSC
on-board comp / multi-function steering wheel
Xenons
Front / rear fogs
chrome line interior
Body-colored dash / Panther Black leatherette / anthracite headliner

I sooooo wanted to get some nicer OEM rims and the JCW brake kit, but just couldn't justify it. So aftermarket, down the road, for both.

Not sure what week I'm in. I just ordered my Mini on 05/06/06 but my 'motoring advisor' told me that I missed the last production slot for the week by a day. My order is still pending. I'd thought I'd be pretty cool about this, after all no real change in my life. However, I'm getting ansy, I want my Mini NOW!

Mini Cooper
Hyper Blue Body/Black Top
Premium Package
Cold Weather Package
16" Perf. run flats
Spoiler
Front and rear fog lamps
Xenon Headlamps
Tinted Windows

UncleJohn,

Do you know if your MINI is being shipped to the East Coast or West Coast?
I see your located in Texas...

Why does it seem that May is dragging.....

Congrats, IrishCooper!

We have the same completion date! Maybe we'll be on the same
boat.

I can't wait! I already sold my vehicle (earlier than planned) and am
more than ready to get behind the wheel of my MINI!

May is zipping right along! Cars for my dealer come through Charleston, SC. On my 04 car, it was one day less than 4 weeks from the build date to when it arrived at the dealer . . . Your mileage may vary.

I found out today from 866-ASK-MINI that I am in the Week 20 group. Look forward to my delivery just like the rest of us. I've got a MCS BRG/W coming.

East coast or west coast delivery? It matters cuz it takes a tad longer for the boat to walk throught the Panama Canal . . .

Should be East Coast as I am in Tennessee. I am guessing SC, but I was also wondering how you find out what boat you MINI will be on. I see all of these people here tracking their boat but I haven't found a way to find that yet.

Thanks in advance for any help

In late 03, when I was tracking my 2nd MINI, you put the VIN into the shipping company's web site and it would tell you which ship it was on. Then you could get a voyage number and track the voyage. Don't know if that's changes or not. The guys at 866 ask-mini should know which shipping lines. They are using two, I think, K-Line and Wallenius Wilhelmsen.

I'm in with you guys. Talked to 866 ASK-MINI and was told mine started production on the 15th, completion on the 18th.
Question about the Owenrs lounge site, Does the 'Order Details' ever change?
If I had not read this forum and found out about the 866 number I would still be in the dark.

Well i talked to ASKMINI last night and even though the Owners Lounge still says Scheduled for Production, the guy i talked to named Greg said that as of last night my car is DONE! It must have gotten ahead or the computer was behind, it shows a production date of 05/11/06
