Mine has a vin # about 300 before yours, and was loaded on the ship today.
Check out yours at http://213.31.205.37/GLWebApps.AppTracking and you can find out when it is shipping out. Looks like next Saturday for you.. Congrats!!

The VIN numbers are sequential, but there are a lot of things that can influence when your car makes it on a ship. For instance, MINIs bound for NY go on a different ship than those bound for california. So there may be VINs after yours that have already loaded to go to Cali, because the next ship for NY is a couple days later.

Does anyone know what the VIN numbering logic is?

Are all 2002's "TC#####" and 2003's "TD#####" ?

Also, does anyone know the start & end numbers for 2001 and 2002 ?

Hmmm, interesting....

My Cooper that is scheduled to finish production 11/22 (this week!) has a vin# TE15xxx. Anyone else with a TE #? Can we break this code?

That is interesting!

Here's what I am thinking so far :

TC##### = MC 5-spd.
TD##### = MC S
TE##### = MC CVT


By the way, mine is an 04/02 build with vin# TC34xxx.

I'm a TE with a CVT, too. Good detective work. I called ASK MINI yesterday and my HARMINI was getting painted, then off for the final assembly (i'm guessing this means the final add-ons, like tires and an antenna). Getting closer......
