LCI models with CarPlay Availability?
Does anyone know if there are any of the newer models with Carplay on MINI dealer lots? Or are they so new that only custom orders are being produced right now?
I was originally planning on waiting for the online configurator to update with the new LCI changes and then ordering a F55 for purchase. But now I’m also contemplating leasing instead of buying. Just wondering if the dealers will have any available where I can just walk in and walk out with a leased F55?
Any help or info would be appreciated.

Our LCI F57 finished production late last week and is apparently waiting to be loaded on a ship. Dealer is still estimating mid-April for delivery. Ours was the first LCI car they ordered, so I imagine it'll still be a couple months before "in stock" cars are on dealer lots. Also, the online configurator will be updated in April. I don't know exactly when in April, but that's what my dealer has told me.

They started production in late February - should start seeing them filter on to dealer lots in April. My local dealer is on the west coast and they're expecting their first ones mid-April.

Thanks! Good to know. I’m on the west coast (LA) as well. I’ll check with the dealerships next week.

Is that true? According to what MINI USA and my dealer told me, separately, LCI production for the US didn’t start till March. Regardless, I would expect the LCI cars to be arriving at US dealers very soon. Of course, lot cars will probably be more rare for a while, except at maybe lower volume dealers. I know the March allocation at my dealer went quick.

Wow that is quick. Seems like people in the UK are just getting theirs. I'm surprised we are getting them so quick. Usually there is a bigger delay for the US to get them.

Just about a 3 week delay before the east coast gets theirs first. I know for sure many are at the east coast VDCs right now.
