To those that ordered, used the "Order Tracking" page in the online "Mini Owner's Lounge", how long was it before the actual production date that you saw status change from "On Order" to "Scheduled for Production"? A day? A few days? Or a few weeks before the prod date?

Think of all the money they're wasting by not having that website up to date. Some people call Askmini several times a day from what I've read.

Mine is already loaded on the ship bound for its new home.
I was at MTTS yesterday and they had 2 JCW Clubmans and I JCW. I spent the better part of my day talking to a Factory Rep from Germany about the car and when I showed him my VIN he really opened up and started to spill the beans about some stuff.
Just a hint that new rims will be available for the JCW in about 6 weeks.

There's a great post in the 1st gear section or the general mini section that spells out the process in detail. I just spoke with my first "bad" cust rep. He seemed annoyed that I was calling.
ALL the women I spoke with so far on ASKMINI have been fantastic and "acted" like they were really interested in my order.

...but if you didn't go nuts with options, you probably have many thousands of $$$ more in your pocket, or that you can spend on mods... 
BTW, so did anybody get any $ off MSRP on their JCW? ...or was the best you could do (too) is get some floor mats thrown-in?

For anyone wondering, once you have the JCW page up on miniusa.com, click through YOUIFICATION -> ACCESSORIES and scroll until you see the R113 rim.

Interesting! Not something I'd get, and yeah, they look heavy, but interesting nonetheless. They need some with fewer spokes - racier looking and lighter weight.

I really want to see a car in person with the new 18" wheels and I am also awaiting the new body colors anticipated to come out in July.

When do the R113 wheels come out....I like the all black ones! I'm going with the JCW aero package....the strut brace....the suspension....and anyone know the release of the bigger JCW brake system?

WhooHoo got my production number finally. Looks like I am scheduled for week 27 production. So looking like a mid August delivery. Now the incessant checking of the owners lounge starts I guess. Though I had to call in to get my production week.

If I were you, I would put it out of your mind for at least 3 weeks. Then call ASKMini. I think mine is week 25, I'm at the point where they're building/painting it. I may stop checking/calling altogether for another 2 weeks. That should put the car state side by then. I'm gonna move to get my financing in order though and get my aero kit painted. That should keep me occupied.
