Rebel Green is my favorite color. ↑ What color interior are you getting?
Black lounge leather! I've been very happy with the satalitte grey lounge leather in my 2012 clubman S. I'm familiar with the Chesterfield interior you have and it is very nice as well.
That is a great question, for which there is not a clear answer. My order has been locked and is in the "production queue" with a VIN. When the dealer confirmed the order it had a build week of 13, which is March 27. Once it's built it's got to take the boat across the pond. So my guess is late May or early June. Time will tell.
When your MINI's status changes from AT THE PORT to IN TRANSIT, your MINI has been loaded onto a ship. In fact, the status change probably updated a day or two after the ship left Southampton port.
At this point, you can call 1-866-ASK-MINI or your Motoring Advisor to ask for the name of the ship transporting your SE from Southampton to the destination Port Location identified on your Vehicle Inquiry Report. Once you have the ship's name, you can track its slow progress across the ocean using a web site, like one of these:
Just enter the vessel name in the search bar at the top of the page. The tracking information depends on the ship being within range of AIS receivers, which means the site won't be able to track the ship once it is out to sea. (I think there are some premium/pay sites that can track via satellite, if you're really interested.)
The Port Location code is rather cryptic. Here are the translations that I know of:
BALPOA = Baltimore, MD
CHSPOA = Charleston, SC
GLSPOA = Galveston, TX
NYCPOA = New York City, NY
PHMPOA = Port Hueneme, CA
SSIPOA = Brunswick, GA
When your MINI arrives at the destination Port Location, the progress status will move from IN TRANSIT back to AT THE PORT. Don't panic--this is just another quirky MINI design choice.
Your MINI will eventually be processed and loaded onto a truck for the final leg of the journey to your dealership. At this point, its status will move (again) from AT THE PORT to IN TRANSIT. If your dealership hasn't contacted you by now to schedule the appointment for you to take delivery, you can call them to ask for an estimate of when they expect your MINI to arrive.
In an attempt not to continuously harass my sales consultant at the dealership, can anyone tell me if the doors on the '23 JCW have the factory door entry lamps? Want to add these when mine arrives.....
I can confirm that they do have the factory door entry lamps (which is a solid white light under the door), but why would you need to replace them when the mirrors have the beam with the Mini logo?
This is what I have found so far. I press the top button on the stalk and see this on the digital display screen. This is where the temperature gauge shows up.

Wow. That's a weird one. Temp gauge is one of the most important info that you need to monitor and BMW figures "ok" would be sufficient. I guess oil temperature is out of the question. lol

Kinda makes a mockery of the "this is a track car" claims by MINI especially in reference to the GP. /shrug
Yes factory puddle lights when door closed. Those are additional when the door opens. So you would have 2 per side. These ones have the newer design with a wavy design on the outside of the housing. Also the updated 2019+ JCW design logo and Updated MINI logo.

Two light systems, one on the mirror (if optioned) and one under the door on the bottom. That retrofit kit above is that door one. I think its an aftersales add on. When you get your MINI just open the door and look under the door for the light.
