Woohoo! Just got notified that my countryman is in production, with expected completion of 1/21. Anyone else?

 

Congrats!

It seems as though Cosmic Blue is becoming more common than I thought. I guess that is understandable since it looks so good on the Countryman.

 

I had intended on repeating my yellow, but the yellow looked a little greenish. Plus, I'm sorta getting older; need a bit more professional color...

 

Estimated completion is 1/19 for mine. I am right there with you. Week 3 Rocks!

 

I ordered on 1/3 and just moved to scheduled for production status. Hopefully, I will be right behind you tx-G-pa. Exciting stuff!

 

My MA thinks the car might be in (CO) be end of February, but I'm guessing he's optimistic.

 

Looks like our CMs are very similiar - what interior did you get? The OL switched me to sched for prod on 1/13. I called me my MA and he found out it was started on 1/11. From what I am ready the OL is always delayed.

 

I am just assuming March for me. Keep the goal reasonable, but will always be happy with a surprise.

 

Just talked to my MA and I am scheduled for prod on Jan 24 now. Slipped a few days. My MA said it would definitely be in sometime in Feb but with production now not starting until Jan 24 I have my doubts.

 

Mine is scheduled for the same date...1/21.

 

"Chase", our Cosmic Blue Countryman is scheduled for completion on 1/20/11

so, nice to be in the week 3 support group!

 

Wow - Cosmic Blue seems to the "in" color!

 

Gotta figure out a name for mine.

 

So, I'm confused about the talk about what "week" you are in... My MA sent me an actual screen shot of the dealerspeed software mini/bmw uses. It shows my status "112", the port of entry, ssipoa (brunswick, georgia). And the scheduled completion date of 2/5/11, nowhere do I see any "production week" numbers.. Is this something your MA's are telling you or is it an actual designation I cannot see? Just curious.

As for the OL delay, my vehicle has been "scheduled for production status 112" since 1/11/11, and OL still doesn't reflect the change.. quite a delay.

 

They do look similiar. I ordered 6spd with Leatherette, Cold Weather/Premium Pkgs, Carbon black Interior/ColorLine, regular beige headliner for contrast and IMO also made the inside feel more spacious, armrest, 2-part rail, white turnsignals, xenons, and Connected.

 

Hi Guys! Order a Countryman Cooper Light White. Im on week three as well. Completion of 1/18. I cant wait!

 

Your MA or SM can get the week of production. They have it in their computers.

Yay 3rd weekers!!! I am due 1/18. My MA from the beginning was telling me delivery was to be the end of Feb. I was pretty doubtful, but the last time I was in I talked to the Mgr. (who gave me my week) and he also said end of Feb. So we shall see......

Will all ours cars be shipped out together?

 

Having gone through the process, here is some unsolicited advice. Forget about OL as it is woefully behind reality. Check the automated system at 866-ASK-MINI and/or the live reps there. Their data is accurate and should mirror the dealers info. Once your car arrives at Bremerhaven however ASK-MINI is out of the loop and you'll have to rely on your dealer. Memorize your production number and pump it into ASK-MINI early and often.

Yes, production week is a real status item and is listed on the VIR. If your MA doesn't know where to find it, have them check with the sales manager.

 

Cars are loaded on vessels based on their destination. Find out what your destination port is, consult the shipping schedule on the WW site and you may be able to figure out which ships you have a shot at although not all ships are on the WW line.

 

My OL actually updated within 24 hrs. Pretty speedy given all the issues.

@Ryanzak, Regarding what week: Just which week of the year your car is scheduled to complete. Your MA should have the info; if you're at status "112" you haven't started yet. Once you get to 150, you're actually in production. Sounds like you're probably in week 5 or 6.

Waiting to get to the fun "track the boat" stage!

 

@ jmdor--That makes much more sense! Thanks it's interesting that there is an actual date there too.. Hope to see some changes this week!

 

If your order has an allocated production slot, your dealer knows which week your car is scheduled to be produced. Ask them, there is no need to guess. Having said that, even a scheduled production week is subject to getting moved up or back. But just ask your dealer for the date as it is in their system.

 

Called 866-ASK-MINI this morning and was pleasantly surprised I have an estimated date of completion = 1/20! WOOT!

 

Nice! Time to check the shipping schedule at the WW site.
