For those of you currently waiting for your customized mini, how long is it taking. My dealer said it would be about 8 weeks so I wanted to make sure this is correct.

 

My MA told me 6-8 weeks, but I got lucky and was able to take over one of their predetermined production spots and I'm looking at closer to 5 weeks if my MINI gets on the right ship (PORGY), 6 weeks if it misses that. So yes, he's correct, probably saying 8 weeks so you're surprised if its faster but not disappointed if its around 8 weeks.


(Also, if you're ordering a JCW, I've heard they only make those once a month so the wait could be longer, I believe the wait is also longer for Countryman)

 

I ordered my 2011 MCSm on March 17 and got an existing build slot. The car is on the ocean now and due in Baltimore on April 19; add time for VDC, trucking, and accessory installation. I am hoping it's 5 weeks, total, but still up in the air. My 2007 MCSm and 2009 MCCm took 6 weeks. I was told the 2011 would take up to 10 weeks. I think NavyNUKE is correct about the 8-weeks estimate.

 

I ordered my 2011 on 2/26 and took delivery on 3/31. Just under 5 weeks but I think I got lucky. I'm not complaining by any stretch of the means, but it was much earlier than expected.

 

I ordered my MCa on the 23rd of February and was told 8-10 weeks to get to WA state. It was ready to be picked up today, April 17th. So that's just under 8 weeks for mine.

 

Okay thanks everyone. Not sure if I need to order or not but hopefully it wont take until late June before. Probably won't buy for at least another week. Too many options HA

 

Don't forget that the shipping times are different depending on what coast you are near. Shipping to the east coast takes ~8 days while cars headed for west coast dealers have ~22 day trip via the Panama Canal...

 

I ordered from Mini of San Diego. My car is going to take exactly 8 weeks for delivery.

Ordered Friday, March 4th, and should be ready to pick up by Friday, April 29th.
