I wanted an indi blue + white roof MCS back in June 2004. My dealer said that it will take 3 weeks...luckily I ended up getting the car in the showroom which has the pana roof + sport package. No regrets.

ordered Feb 24th, and arrived May 3rd. That's was also with CN Rail on strike, got stuck in Halifax for 2 weeks and then the Calgary train yard on strike for a bit.

I got the keys to my 2006 MCS (Nov '05 delivery) two months and 4 days after putting my official order in. No rail or other strikes. Not that I was anxiously keeping track or anything...

I made a couple of changes after my order was already in. Call your MA asap and they may still be able to do it.

God luck!

My number does not work on the US site, it says it is not in the data base. I called 1888DRVMINI and they said my MA has the most infro. My MA did not have a production week as of yet, he said he got the number that morning and would have one next week.

Hey, just in time for the Calgary MINI Run! You can break the MINI in on the way down.

Congrats. The next two weeks will probably feel like two months.

Ordered Feb 07, dealer could not get more S models ordered until end of March (they were not happy). Arrived end of June.

But I bought an 06 in January (private sale) and had a guaranteed price with the dealer no matter how long it took the new one to arrive, and no matter how far I drove it.

I was fine with that. The 06 was my first MINI and was great, the 07 is greater (except I miss the exhaust burble).
