Good for you - I have a production date of 11/8 so I'll feel your excitement in a month or so.

Cheers,

G67

Hey! My Mini's birthday is that day too. (should we start a "Can't wait for December" thread? )

Do you have a VIN yet or any other information besides

"Estimated Production Date?"

For those of you who have your Mini, how accurate was your estimated date to actual build date? Does that information update or is it behind the actual production.

Many thanks!

My production information was exactly right and my car arrived at the dealer one day ahead of schedule. The Owners Lounge is always behind though, I think its only updated on Fridays. Call 1-866-Ask MINI to get the most updated information.

I don't have my MINI yet-- it's sitting on the dock in Southampton waiting for the MV Trinidad-- but it was built on October 25, which is exactly the estimated production date I had from the very start.

Cheers--

Leslie

My MINI was produced a few days behind - but it was well worth it! He's perfect!

I DID receive him on my EXACT estimated delivery date, though.

Congrats!
Mine came several days early and I picked him up on Monday.
You'll love it. Just give it gas, relax and enjoy the ride.
