I too, have jumped onboard the MINI train

Ordered my MINI yesterday while driving! Actually I faxed my spec sheet the day before and confirmed the process while driving to a conference. Having driven a Ti silver E46 for 7+years, this will be a bit different:

CR/CR
auto
premium
convenience
cold weather
leatherette (my BMW has it and still looks like new-so it's a no brainer)
bridge spoke (dump the RF before it leaves the dealer)
chrome line
rear fog
xenons
hi fi
antracite headliner
white signals

I don't have a production number yet, but my MA said it will be a last week in Aug or 1st week Sept build (when is the plant closed in August?) with delivery after the appropriate delay (and excitement cresendo). I am sure that I will have questions for the group. I learn things here everyday (just as I did on the BMW forums for years-this is a great thing, this internet!-LOL)

Congrats, now that you are on the train you will be waiting for your boat to come in.

Join the thread for your production week (when you get one). They will be tracking the boat/s for that group of MINIs.

Welcome to NAM and to MINIdom.

It is great to have it on order. The wait can be a bit of a bugger. Sure is fun waiting with the other folks on NAM.

Pictures when you get it. Drive safe.

Welcome - better to be on the train than under it! Congrats on your order - now you need a temporary hobby to make the time pass faster until your MINI arrives.
