Has any 2015 F56 hit the shores of North America yet?

 

My 2014 F56 was born on June 13 and should be at the dealership this week. It came via the west coast.

 

Ours is built and waiting to get on a boat. We were week 28 production.

 

My 2014 just hit my dealer yesterday and I am the last production week of the 2014's. 2015's can't be far behind

 

I would expect some east coast 2015 will hit dealers this week.

Earliest build complete was 7/1. Then likeliest earliest boat date would have been 7/3. Add in 7 days to get across the ocean and 2 days minimum to dealer, your looking at first cars this week.

Add about 14 days more for first to west coast dealers.

 

my car was built on July 2nd and is on its way to the east coast! i'll have one of the first '15s in town!

 

I actually can't wait to see the 2015's, mainly because of the LED fog lights.

 

We got the LED fogs with the LED Headlights (w cornering lights) so we will be excited to see them too. Still at the port waiting for a place on a ship. I'm thinking a Mini is small enough to fit in the cargo hold of a 747.... hmmmm....

 

It fits ... (go to about 6:30 if you are impatient)

 

This thread has gone quiet for a week, but the questions remains. Have any 2015 F56's hit US soil yet?

 

Mine will be in Baltimore on the 28th

 

Just found out that our 2015 is built waiting for a ship to the east coast. We won't be the first but early August perhaps.

 

our cars made it to Baltimore on Saturday. I don't know how long it'll take for them to make it to Pittsburgh.

 

That's great. Glad to see some are starting to trickle in.

Grats to you guys. Mine is due to finish production on 7/25, so it will be a while yet for me.

 

Mine is in Baltimore as well. Just need to wait for it to get to Detroit....

 

My MA said my 2015 should be at the dealer next week.

 

When did yours get to a port? How far from the port are you?

 

I'm only about 5-6 hours drive time to the port (according to Google), but dealer says it takes 4-7 days to get to the dealer. I'm on Grand Duke that is scheduled to pull into Brunswick tomorrow morning.

 

Thanks! I was just kidding of course. These must be manufacturer vehicles going to a press event. I can't imagine anyone could afford that shipping fee.

 

Yep, I believe they were on their way to the Puerto Rico launch event.

 

I've sure this has been covered to death but is there any reason to wait for the 2015 F56? My dealer says they're coming in 3 weeks but I found a 14 that's perfect. Is there any difference besides a marginally better resale value down the line with a '15 model year?

 

standard auto climate control
LED Halo foglights
better resale value
possibly less issues and better build quality since the kinks have been worked out of production??

You might be able to score a better deal on a '14 though.
Seems like half the fun with Mini is ordering what you want though and tracking it on the way here!

 

2015s are landing in US ports as we speak. A couple different options in the 15 on the configurator. Some things are included now (auto air for example) that weren't on the 14, but price for 15 also went up.

 

What is this referring to? F56 models do not have "halo" fog lights. 2015 F56 models have available LED headlamps and available LED fog lamps just like the 2014 models (no changes there).

LED halo fog lamps will be standard (S models) or available on the 2015 "R5x/R6x" models.

 

This confused me too. If you go on the MiniUSA site and build a cooper S, the image for the LED foglights have changed, they have a DRL ring around them like the 2015 country/paceman have. I have a feeling Mini added that image for the cooper by accident but my MA confirmed that my '15 MCS that I have on order will have the LED foglights with the halogen ring.
