Great !!!


Mini was just released from the liner hours ago and is waiting for delivery

 

Took just 3 days from offboarding to dealer for us.

 

Congrats! Post photos and a review when you get a chance

 

Exciting! Your journey is almost over. Can't wait to see some photos and a review from you

 

Can't wait to see the pics. Ethel was just 7 days from Baltimore to on the lot in WI.

 

Congratulations! We want photos!!!

 

First charge is complete. We plugged it in (standard 110v charger that comes with the car) around 9:30 PM last evening with around 35% charge remaining. It completed just prior to 9:00 AM this morning. Seems to be a long time to charge a relatively small battery (for example BMW i3 can charge fully on 12 hours). Next step is to determine if pre-conditioning or any other features are in use to slow the charging down.

Only pet peeve so far is that it looks like the Mini Connected app is pretty archaic. It shows total gas range in the app but does not show any details about the charge (or charge %). I also don't see ability to unlock doors from the app, or turn on preconditioning from the app (all of those features are available on the i3 app).

 

I hope it will be at the dealership by next Friday. Nothing will be done during the weekend

 

Some photos of our new SE.

 

Great looking

 

Photos are great! Wow....that's a long charge time for 35% remaining. It must be pre-conditioning for first time. This is the 1st Island Blue SE photos I've seen photos of. Specs look great

 

You must be so excited! Hope this week flies by quickly for you. Keep us posted

 

The Island blue is cool and I like the sport bumper.

Ethel charges in about 6-8hrs. You can set the draw rate against 110v in the configuration screen. It comes default at the lowest draw. You can bump up if you have newer wiring. Mine is wired with 12GA wire and has a 20amp breaker so the higher setting is fine.

 

I just called 866-Ask-Mini to check on my production number since the website isn't giving any info. My production moved from week 36 to 43 (Late October)!!!! Bummer! I'm wondering if it was because I added the ADA Feature. Mini didn't have any info on that though.

Anyone else get similar bad news?

 

Ugh I'm still waiting on getting a production #!!!! Looks like I'll be in the same boat as you.....that's if and when I get a production #

 

Well, ASK MINI told me today that I have a "confirmed production start date... week 41." Dealer system still shows 08/2017, but it's sounding like all the SE's have moved out to October. If start date is 10/9 (week 41), that should put completion a couple of weeks later, then off to Zeebrugge. Figuring a month on the ship and then to the dealer (Colorado) I think I'm looking at early-mid December delivery.

 

Yup... likely it's going to be a long wait. Trying to look on the positive side. It'll be a nice Christmas gift. Will have to dig deep to find patience for us all waiting on our SE's. I'm in the East Coast so my sea journey should be shorter if all goes well without further push backs on production starts and other delays that may crop up.

 

MA emailed me that my car just arrived


I will post photos later

 

WooHoo!!!! Can't wait to see photos

 

Already post photos on "F60 Waiters Club"

 

Received production# and VIN today. MA said that it started production and in assembly!

Update: Production was completed yesterday, 8/25 and status is "currently awaiting carrier". If she loads in Zeebrugge by 8/27 will dock in NY on 9/6. Next ship out will be 9/2 and will dock on 9/13.

Mini Lounge shows "in production".....just a "tad" bit behind, huh?! I'm totally surprised and thoroughly excited that I'll take ownership in September:-)

 

Great and you will be busy tracking the status like me

 

For sure As of this morning, still awaiting release to carrier so probably won't make the Tiger today. Next ship out is 9/2 with delivery to port in NY 9/13.
My wait won't be as long as I anticipated.

More fun tracking on the ship and getting spec printout from Bimmer.work. Owner's Lounge seems worthless. Hope they get that under control in the future.

 

My MA just texted me to inform me that my ride is in production! This is despite the fact that I called Ask Mini earlier today to check status and it was still anticipating a production start date of late October (week 43).

EPIC!

 

WooHoo! Did you get a production # so you could log into the Owner's Lounge?
As soon as you get a production # don't be surprised if the production is already complete. That's what happen to me! Crazy, nuts how we get such conflicting information Happy to hear your good news
