Hey everyone,

As a new member to the Mini family, I have a little question for all of you who have already taken delivery of your Clubman S models. Upon ordering my little bundle of joy and attempting to track it, I see some that the Clubman S I am tracking is entirely different than the one I ordered. Is this normal? Will it change over time when the paper work gets straightened out, or should I give the dealer a call?

LVX,
Jonathan

 

Dealers already have a certain allotment of models. As I understand it, they "spec" these themselves, then reconfigure as customers place orders. That's probably what you're seeing. It should correct in a few days.

 

Yes and mine did correct after a few days.

 

If you haven't read this thread, you should: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=70301 Congrats on your order! If you feel like describing it, I'd say most of us will be all ears.

 

Thanks for the help everyone. I was hoping the above was the case, and now I can remain at ease. My Clubman S (she has yet to be named, but will be when I think of something appropriate) is rather stock, but I did toss in a few extras. Without further adieu: Lightning Blue with Silver roof, silver bonnet stripes, a panoramic sunroof, multifunction steering wheel, all season tires (a must for North Jersey I'd say), and she's an automatic. My brother owns a couple of classic minis (a 76 Morris, and a 94 Austin), and he's been torturing me with regard to this fact since the order was placed. Oh well. heh

LVX,
Jonathan

 

Thanks for posting the link to that other tracking thread. I had only been checking the status of my MINI online, but decided to call the Ask MINI phone number. Although it says waiting to be scheduled online, both the automated system and live representative just told me my car went into production on April 14th! I was expecting a May production date, but hey, I'll take the early start.

 

Great news ncgator! Yes, relax and let the obsession continue unabated, Jonathan - your Clubman sounds beautiful. I really do like that blue - almost got it.

 

The anticipation is a MAJOR part of owning a MINI. I ordered a Clubman S and aited almost 6 mo to get it---and it was never HC on the lowner's lounge. If your MA has confirmed what you ordered you should be okay.
