Congratulations on your new car. It will be here before the paint dries or the lawn needs mowing.

Hope so, the $2K incentive goes off June 30 (take delivery).

Called Mini Advisor yesterday. He checked status of my car. He showed car to be completed on May15. Figuring normal transport to shipping dock (2-3 days) - 10 day ocean trip to Brunswick GA and likely another 10 days to my dealership. He said no problem getting here well before June 30.

That beings said, watch the whole thing unravel.

U-boats are, historically, very active in the Atlantic this time of year.

Called Mini today. Was told completion date is 13 May (2 days earlier than originally told). Online status checking is down. Will call again on 15 May and hopefully find the car at or on the way to the shipping port. Based on time line, car should be to me well before 30 June.
