I am not over 55 so that might explain the discrepancy in information given to me by my agent. She did mention something about being 55+ driver.

 

Has anybody actually received a call from their dealer and given a defineative delivery date? Has anybody actually seen a 2015 F56 on a dealer lot? All we get from our dealer is "soon".

 

Nope. I'm waiting for my salesman to contact me for a change. It seems like he never volunteered information throughout since I ordered but needed my prompting at every step.

Yes, this is a stupid time in the process for me to get obstinate!

 

i recieved an email yesterday, better than no contact i guess

 

my dealer emailed me last night to tell me the cars are moving. I also had an email today telling me exactually where my car is, as it was moved from the Port of Halifax, Canada, to Toronto which is 120 miles from me. The dealer emailed all the shipping codes etc. alone with the letter from BMW Canada showing all their conversations regarding the delivery schedule for it and other cars. The expected arrival at the dealer was "before next Fri".

 

My dealer is 1 hr away from the NJDC. As of 3p on 2 Oct, they have gotten nothing. Hard to believe.

DriversED: Thanks to the discussion above, I learned about the "official" certificate. Apparently there is such a thing, despite no mention of it in any of the promotional information @ mini. I contacted them today about it. Their first response was "5 days in the mail". That wasn't exactly what I wanted to hear, so after a little pushback, they agreed to fax it to the dealership. YMMV of course, but there may be a couple of people following this discussion that can put this to use.

 

I happened to stop by the MINI dealer near LAX in the South Bay (Los Angeles) today and I saw at least three trucks of 2015 Cooper Hardtops being unloaded. No S models.

 

^^^ woohoo!!
Can't believe they're finally almost here
104 days and counting since we ordered.
