Flooding in Thailand Affecting MINI Production?

Does any one know if the flooding in Thailand that is slowing Honda and Toyota production because of a shortage in electronic components is also affecting MINI production? The status of my car has been "Scheduled for production with no confirmed production date" for several days now. With the two other MINI's that I ordered (very long story, but I have three MINI's on their way to the U.S. in my name) as soon as it was scheduled for production I got an estimated completion date of about a week after it went into production. This one (the one I am actually going to buy) seems to be stuck in limbo.

Mine was finished two days ago. But I got the same message from the automated thingy for about a week. When I finally spoke to a live human, it was already in the body shop, and the recording didnt change until it was already in quality check.

Last I knew, the Auto transmissions and some electronics were from Japan.

Mine spent almost a month in that status before suddenly moving into production. IT'S SO TOTALLY THE BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD.
