Got the email and called MINIUSA for more information, they in turn told me to call my dealer. Sales rep gave me the production order # and VIN which I put into the Track my Baby area of the MINI Owners Lounge. Appears the West coast bound GPs are at the BMW Distribution Center in California and possibly have been for some time. When I tracked the VIN through the shipping company it looks like my GP was delivered to the port in Califronia the first week of January!!
Interesting that the email says they are putting on the final finishing touches in OXford.

Did you get the same call as others are stating about the GP being delayed in delivery?

BAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLSSSSSSSSS....
I was so hoping they would rethink this.... The call today is not a good sign...
An extra MONTH!?
I think there's more to the delay than the numbers... I think they may want to delay it a bit until everyone has nicer weather (East Coast esp).
The worst of it is, I understand there's no steering wheel controls on these cars... I was so looking forward to those.

I have read/heard that the customer may request the 205/45 tire option (at a slight surcharge). If not otherwise requested, the GPs will come with the 215/40 tires, which were specifically designed for the GP. I still am in denial that after waiting for this long and expecting the cars to arrive this week, it will be another month!

Hey,
Do you have a source for this? I only ask because I too was under the impression they would have steering wheel controls, but the car they brought around to dealerships (recently) did NOT have them, and when the salesperson I spoke to asked the corporate rep that went around with the car, she was told the car would not have them.
Would love it if you were correct!

I REALLY like the steering wheel controls - I wish they were included.

Thats amazing that people are complaining about an Extreme performance tire on a GP. This is why the MINI has been toned down so much from its original design.

just got this via email today
Greetings GP MINI-acs,
You may be asking yourself, when is the GP racing into my dealership?! Well, it’s time to fill you in on the latest news.
Our original plan was to deliver the GP in March; however, as you know, now each US MINI John Cooper Works GP comes with a roof decal with a unique number that will range from 0001 to 0500. Unfortunately, there is a production delay on the number decals.
Because we are the ONLY market in the world (besides our Canadian neighbors) with this exclusive numbering system, our delivery date for the GP is now expected to be on or around April 5th. We wish we could deliver the GPs now but this is all part of our effort to “Save the Numbers.”
We know it’s not easy or particularly fun to wait and are eager to get behind the wheel for the first time ourselves. So thanks for your continued patience as your GP is adorned with its final touch and begins its journey across the Atlantic. As always, if we can answer any questions, please call 1-866-ASK-MINI (275-6464).
Until then, Motor On.
The Team at MINIUSA
