Time Line???

I ordered my Clubman S on 6/15/08. I was wondering how long it takes to get a production number. It seams like people get them fairly quickly but I still haven't heard from my MA. I know with the high demand right now the process takes a lot longer. My MA told me I should get into August production which means I would take delivery in late September. I am hoping for a 2008.

Would love to hear what everyones time line has been from order date to taking delivery.

countryclubber, I assume you are using Northwest MINI for your order, if that is the case you could wait 4 -6 weeks for a production number.

From what I know about NW MINI there is no way possible to get a Clubman S any sooner than Jan/Feb. When I spoke to my MA at NW MINI - 6 month wait time. There are others waiting on a wait list, so you might want to find what number you are on the wait list.

I ordered April 11 and my clubman S is just now traveling across the Atlantic.

Thank you for the information warev. I am going through NW Mini. I am so excited for you that yours is almost delivered!! I started getting antsy about the wait the day I ordered my clubby. I am glad I ordered mine when I did because the wait now is VERY LONG. But a Clubman is SO worth it.

I don't want to hurt anyones feelings either but I was given a production number when i called the dealer on Wednesday to set up an appointment for Saturday to come in and order the car. I guess i just got lucky though.

There is another thread here where a gut in Phoenix Arizona ordered his from a dealer in New York just to get it into production earlier. Now he will have to ship it or take a trip.
