Not yet. My deaker offered us the Tire/wheel protection plan at I believe it was $1600 but said we can negotiate it. I found the other plan that I want to talk to them about. If I can get it for about $1500 it just might be a good deal .

Ordered 7/18/11 Production completed 8/19 Aboard WWL's Othello Port of NY 9/15

So looks as if "our" ship is passing through the Azores this morning and avoiding Hurricane Katia...just a couple of weeks more...

Quick straw poll....protection plans and extended warranties - yea or nay?

DDM,

It probably depends on the cost. For example if the Blemis Buster Protection Plus is $3k then in my eyes is not worth it. $2k maybe.

Is anyone else leasing their CM?
The Mister, who's in the car business, says he doesn't want to buy another MINI at this point because we live so far from a dealership and he doesn't want to keep a car that goes out of warranty...

Ok, I just got a text from my MA. My car is scheduled in week 36 or 38, so it looks like October is when the build will start. So it would appear that the Nav did hold me up.

Update, I just got a call from my MA. Our car started production today! So we are a bit ahead of schedule.

Hi, I've been lurking awaiting the placement of my order. My MA said my order can't be placed until September 14 due to the MINI connected option. Is that consistent with what others have heard.?

I don't think so. It's more like your dealer doesn't have any build slots available for your replacement vehicle until then.

Come on Boat

Our 2012 Mini Countryman Manual All4 (silver, black bonnet stripes, black wheels) is out of production and waiting to cross the big waters (hold off the hurricanes please) and then its all down hill to the dealer in NC. Can't wait for Bigga to meet his little sister, our current 06 Cooper S, Checkmate.

For those with a CM on the Tugela - it docked in Baltimore harbor this morning!!! My ALL4, Light Coffee should be traveling to Indiana later this week . . . . (I haven't decided on a name yet. Feel like I should meet him/her 1st and let it develop naturally from there :.)

My car finnished production on 8/28 and was sitting at the port since 9/1. Still no update on a ship, ol and mini-hotline still says its at the port. Did anyone's car make it on the platinum ray? im hoping there is just a lag on updates as were others on the toscana...

Delivery?

My MA called from Dreyer in Indianapolis. My new CM is already on a truck and headed to Indianapolis from Baltimore. According to the MA it will be the 1st 2012 CM to arrive at the dealer this model year. It is possible that I'll be introduced before the weekend, but not guaranteed :( but it is getting closer to a reality. Been a long 12 weeks since ordering but I'm getting excited (little girl squeal if appropriate!) Patience is not my strong suit . . . .

My 2012 is at the dealership! My MA sent me the email today and said he would be calling tomorrow to schedule pick-up. They need a day or so to detail and service it. Am I one of the first people to get their 2012? I will report back with photos. thoughts, etc.

broussardc, yes we were. I'm in Atlanta. Where are you? I would assume you should be hearing something soon.

haicu, my CM should be on the Platinum Ray, too, but the OL still says "awaiting", so I'm hoping it'll update and show en route in the next day or two. Days sure seem to drag by while it's sitting at port...

Thanks. That tells me alot! I will be cautious. Since this dealer ship is 60 miles away and the next closest is more than 160......I feel kinda stuck. I live in the sticks. Guess we will see how it goes.

I heard from the dealer earlier today. It looks like Mickey will be ready on Friday. Since I put the deposit down May 4th, it's a little strange to think I'll get my car in a few days!

It's great to read that you'll soon have "Mickey"...post pics, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

I hope to have my CM soon - maybe end of next week or so
