Ohhh, that is simply not cool... MA fail. Hope they're making it worth your while like pick a loaner out of their BMW / MINI fleet during the extra wait and or some free accessories.

All this time and the dealer never bothered to check the order for accuracy. Woof.

OUCH!!! Hopefully you're going to make sure that your dealer does something to ease the wait?

Just wondering did your MA give you the printed order sheet when the order was entered? My MINI came in without the rear fogs that I thought I had ordered - however apparently in the excitement/confusion of ordering they got left off because they weren't on the order sheet.. I take the blame for that and besides it's only rear fogs which isn't something to really loose sleep over...

Unlike a transmission...

I know, have the dealership give you the car with the wrong transmission to use as a loaner until the correct MINI shows up- and use it to teach your wife how to drive a manual - because why not?

I wish! Unfortunately, since it wasn't included in the earlier build, neither was the cost. So, now I have to add the additional cost of the automatic and my trade value decreases due to the extended wait time. I hope in the end all of this is worth it!
