Wow, VERY helpful info.

My first MCS was just loaded on the Integrity and is due to hit the states on October 6th!

You guys are great...looking forward to being an active member.

 

I ordered my R56S (black w/ white top and premium package) on Aug. 4 and it arrived at the dealer yesterday, waiting to pick it up tomarrow. Site said it was still at distribution center but when i called the dealer they said they already had it. WOHOO!!

 

Thanks for all the info

FYI- Motorwerks MINI up here in Minnesota only wanted a $400 deposit on the MCSa I ordered Saturday.

 

Just receieved my production number today and I went to the Owners Lounge and it is not what I ordered. Should I call the dealer? The spec sheet the dealer sent was the correct car. I think I read somewhere that it might correct in a few days or something? Anyone else experience this?

 

It will correct itself. If it doesn't in a few days call your MA.

 

Thank you, guess if I would have read some of the other posts before I panicked.....I would have seen that.

 

Congrats on yer new mini!

 

Does this mean my MINI won't arrive in NY until 11/10/07?

 

Nope, according to that it will arive October 11th. For whatever reason that site puts the day before the month.

 

oh, thank god, that sounds so much better

 

I'm on the same boat

 

we're all in the same boat..

 

I orderd my MINI on 9/22/07 and it is still showing as 'On Order' in the Owners Lounge. Is this normal? I had hoped it would be in production by now.

 

Id call 866 ASK MINI...i ordered 9/29/07....on 10/4/07 it still said on order so i called and the guy told me production began 10/3/07 and should be complete 10/10/07....id say yours may be almost done with production calling is great..the people are friendly and really want to help (plus they know exactly what your car is doing)

 

I am trying to be patient.....but I am so anxious to see some kind of progress. I sent an e-mail to my MA this morning, hoping maybe he would know something. Have not heard back yet. Is the toll free number a 24/7 thing or only certain hours?

 

Yeah trust me i a sooooo anxious to get mine too!! i waited since july just to make sure i had enough money to order now i got the money but its has to build haha
yeah i sent a message to my MA 2 days ago because the only thing i dont see on the order info on the OL is the alarm system and still havent heard back
you can call anytime for the automated service, but unforntunatly (like i just found out a few minutes ago ) the actual customer service person that can tell you exactly where it is has hours...mon-fri and 9 till (i think) 9....now i wish i found out where it was friday haha now i will have to wait till monday

 

Just heard back from my MA and he said that it went into production today!!! He said that it was a little longer than usual.

 

YAY!!! well atleast it has started and in no time we will be drivin our MINIs

 

Thanks for the great information! I am a week 41 mini owner and I am having a great time monitoring it's progress.

 

Welcome, what are the specs on your MINI?

 

OK, Our Mini left on November 26 from Southampton to Charleston, NC. But I can't find it on the WW line or K-Line. Does Mini use any other shipping lines?
NJP

 

Syper summary. My new Cooper is on the Aida. We logged on to the Panama Canal site on Monday morning at 4 am (Tucson time) and saw the ship exiting the east locks.

 

My car has been at the port awaiting shipment since the beginning of this week. Many have suggested that it probably has already left on a K-Line ship. Is there any way to determine if that is the case with my car?

 

How do I track the ship when it is close to NYC? the link to aisfree only seems to show Europe.

 

yay, lots of great info! thanks! mine is arriving at port huemene, CA on the 7th of january. can't wait!
