Dealer Reconfigure?

My dealer says that he reconfigured a mini already slated for production. This should cut my wait time to 6 weeks. Does this sound right, or am I gonna have to wait longer?
He says that he got a VIN today & it should be ready for delivery on the 14th of May. Is this a pipe dream?

Mine was here in 5 1/2 weeks from order date to delivery to me. I think it would have been here in 5 weeks if the trucker from Port Hueneme hadn't decided to take the weekend off.

Mine took 6 weeks - got it yesterday!!
You're lucky if your MA could get one reconfig'd - slots are getting harder to acquire I think, as people find out how hot these are...
Commence your countdown anxiety attacks!!

Are you tracking it in the Owner's Lounge? You shouldn't have to wait any longer than what he told you unless there's a shipping delay.

thanks for the info. I'm tracking it. The website says that it's ordered. The dealer says he has a VIN. Guess the mini website is a little behind.

Oh, it's gonna be a rough ride!

We've been waiting 7 weeks now. The boat with our Clubman is due to dock today in NYC, then we have the wait through the VDC and on to the dealer.

I think I've learned more about this car in the last 7 weeks than I've ever learned about any other car I've owned - all thanks to NAM!

Ah, sweet anticipation...

(im)patiently waiting

When I ordered, my MA said it would be between 6-8 weeks. If everything goes as planned and delivery is on or about April 22, it will be 5-1/2 weeks. I can't wait. There are not many Mini's here in Lafayette, LA, so I haven't had the anxiety of watching others enjoying their cars while I wait.

I ordered mine in Mid-December, was built in Mid-January and took delivery at the end of February.

It was about 8-9 weeks. But I believe 6 weeks is more realistic now that the car is fully available in the pipeline. I had to wait 2 extra weeks because the Clubman could not be sold before the February 16th launch date.
