Released to carrier... is that the 'released to carrier and is headed to port of exit' or something else?

Wow aren't you the lucky one. I ordered a week after you and I just entered production yesterday. You must have checked out in the "express lane"

Wow, you have certainly been in the fast lane, in 6th gear. LOL. That is an extremely fast turnaround time for your order. Congratulations!

Congratulations! I ordered on 5/31 and will finish production on 6/14. I hope to receive my car fast. On the other hand, I am still 10 grands short and don't want to finance so Mini can take their time while I am waiting for my pay checks

Heck I'd take delivery it's not THAT bad. What did they do, jump up and down on it? You are not the first person to have a damaged car delivered to a dealership. Any idea what they are going to do with that car now?

You mean a 2015. Before they would quit taking orders for this years' cars around the end of July anticipating fall delivery for the next year model.

Oh man, that sucks big time! Sorry to hear that. So V2 will be a 2015 with the mandatory rear camera/pdc with NAV XL? Is it worth the extra $$ not to have the dealer repair this one and offer some compen$ation to take it??
