Hello! New to the site!
I placed an order on a new S E back in November, shortly after Thanksgiving, and I have the production number but every time I go to the Owners' site and try to register, it still says I am a little too quick on the draw.
Anyone have any idea how long after getting the production number you had to wait until you could register?
Maybe I am a little too anxious for my own good

The site for me at least was always a little behind. A call to ask Mini may provide a better update. I have ordered 3 and all of them arrived at the dealer about 8 to 9 weeks after order. You have a holiday in your cycle so that may add some time. Typically once you get the order number it is scheduled within a few weeks with the SE they have a limit per day / week with their suppliers that can also impact timing. Also earlier in the year things like Active Cruise etc were bottle necks for order slotting All customer orders bump to priority one and build ahead of stock. They also get moved to head of the line for both ocean and domestic transit.
If you are in Seattle transit is longer, I was in Seattle when I ordered Blue in 2008 and tracked her through the canal, etc.

Following up re Level 2 charging solutions for Countryman S E
The experience is worlds better than the included 110V charger. First, the TurboCord is like 1/2 to 1/3 the size/volume of the included 110V charger. Second, it's at least 2x faster charging.
Main points:
1) They really should have included it with the car.
2) If you are still using 110V charging, get this and a 220V outlet instead. You'll be happy!
I considered getting a "full size" Level 2 charger (eg a Chargepoint) for future proofing, but it is several hundred dollars more expensive, and won't charge the Mini any faster. I can always get the electrician to install a different 220V outlet in the future if a full-electric car comes my way later on...

I didn't know these were so limited... Ideally I wanted to order one now and have it ready by the end of January (I'll have the $ then) but my dealer just flat out says they can't sell me one nor can they order me one. I did go in a couple months ago and they told me hopefully but now it's a no. They are frustrated too because they know I want to buy. Tried to get me into a regular Countryman but no thanks. I want a plug in.
Thought I'd search some forums to see if it might be worth my time to try another dealer but it seems not! I told the guy I'm dealing with I'll wait for a 2019 model if I have to but I don't know what to do. This is the car I had been set on buying. The Mini website certainly doesn't say you can't buy one...

The crap part is the price went up by $3500 from 2018 to 2019. The base price only went up $100 but the packages got broken up and the Fully Loaded one is not an option. At least I hope my dealer isn't taking me for a ride... They threw the heated front seats into the package with the active driving assist which I would never pay for otherwise because I won't use it for instance.
I think this is why they wouldn't/couldn't order me one before. They were priced wrong!

That's a pretty stiff price increase. Wow! I wonder if they will ship more S E's into the US.
Will yours include 4G remote services? That's one of the big missing features in the 2018 model (along with blindspot monitoring and better performing front crash protection, I guess). I read on Motoringfile that the 4G services will let you have remote climate control, which would be really nice.

Thought I would update my post from a few weeks back. I now have a 2019 on order as of Monday and it's in the production stage already!!

Edit: a quick google search shows me 4G was supposed to be in *all* MINIs starting with March production so it looks like it?

Depends where it's headed. I live in Texas and for our 2017 (delivered last summer), it took a couple weeks of painful waiting for it to go from Awaiting Transport to En Route...

My 2019 SE arrived at my dealer. Without the Keyless Comfort Access!!! That I obviously paid for... My dealer is just as annoyed as I am. They offered me $1000 off (he says Mini offered a $250 discount) or to rebuild one (when they can find another build slot). I've had comfort access in my cars for years! It wouldn't be the end of the world but I know I would be annoyed every time I had to take the key out of my pocket to unlock it. I keep cars for 5 years. I'd rather be annoyed by another 8-10 week wait than for 5 years so I'm having them rebuild it....
UGH!!!
He said some other cars had come off the builds without moon roofs even and he has no idea why Mini went ahead and shipped them knowing they were built wrong. Is this the danger of having one of the first Model Years off of the line?
