Tracking thru MINIUSA Owners Lounge

I ordered mine on 5/8 and got the production number... and on MiniUSA site, status is still "on order" after 10 days...

Does it usually take this long, or is there a delay on updates?

Ours took about 2 weeks to start production. 1-866-ASK-MINI normally has more upto date information (their automated tracking), and a representative will be able to give you even more accurate information.

The Owners Lounge tracking I find is normally 3-4 days behind

Slotted 5/10, Scheduled for production week 23

I got my production number when I put the deposit down on 5/12. The MA had slotted it on 5/10 based on my verbal agreement over the phone. The Owner's lounge says 'On order", but 1-866-ASK-MINI says it's scheduled for production week 23, which is first week of June.

Switching to the forum, Week 23 Support Group... Maybe I'll see some of you there !

1-866-ASK-MINI and/or your MA are more reliable when it comes to production status.

@ DChap - bypass the automated response and get a live person on the phone

I ordered mine on 4/28 and got a build number that day. Started production on 4/30 and was completed on 5/8. The OL is very slow to update. Call the number for more real-time data.

I think they're lazy. It is called Lounge, you know.


j/k...word is that status updates are quite late.

I show awaiting transport since 9 days ago, but it's been on the water for 5 days!

I ordred through BMW Military Sales and received a production number and start week (33). I am unanble track my production number until the order has been registered for export. A couple of things I found interesting about military sales is that they seem to have slots much further out than stateside dealers. Anyway, I'm extremely happy about the money I am saving and that helps cushion the wait.

So you all know, there are a few levels of "Pre-Production". Dealers get a certain allotment each week for a production vehicle. They can use these slots to fill up their lot or fulfill customer orders. If you're lucky, they'll swap you out with an allotment that's just going on the lot and you'll start pretty quickly. If they're full up with orders, you'll get an allotment for a later production week. Thus the delay in some cases to go from On Order to Scheduled for Production.

From MINI2:

The following numeric status codes are commonly used internally to track the progress of your MINI:

037 Order is at BMW NA
087 Production Week Assigned
097 Order sent to factory
111 Order Accepted at factory
112 Order scheduled for Production
150 Production Started
151 Body Shop Started
152 Paint Shop Started
153 Assembly Started
155 Production Completed
160 Released to Distribution
182 Released to Carrier
193 Arrived at Port of Exit
194 Selected for Shipment
195 Shipped from Port of Exit
196 Shipment Arrival
