2005 MCS ordered, some concerns...

I've tracked my progress on MiniUSA and it is awaiting transport. First, that's getting me nervous. I wasn't expecting it this soon. Also it gives a bit of a description of what your car is and mine only says Cooper S, Pure Silver, grey cloth. In the features list it is blank, but I put in an order for the Premium package. Did they shaft me?

Call your MA. That does not sound right to me. Mine had listed all my options and they changed when I changed my order. Let us know how this turns out.

Mine has nothing in the list either. I ignored it as I expect that I will get the car I ordered or heads will roll.

The online tracking info is not usually complete. Nearly everyone who has posted similar concerns in the past 2 years has received the car they ordered. Call your MA to be sure, but you shouldn't worry about it.

If they're not going to use the web feature to correctly describe the car you've ordered, what good is it?

fwiw, when I ordered my 04 MCS, it was completely (and correctly!) described on the website.

i also have an 05 mcs on order, and none of my options are showing up either. i'm assuming this is fine, i called ask mini and they confirmed my specs.

Okay, just wanted to let you all know on the update. I was emailed back with the specs of my car and everything sounds great! It's all there so no worries if it doesn't show up on MiniUSA.

Sometime this will happen when your dealer is changing an existing order to meet your specs. You'll see the original car they ordered on the site until the changes are updated.

I think until MINIUSA updates their whole website so that people can actually configure 2005 models online, the 05 specs probably won't show up on current orders.
