>>The problem is, miniusa.com won't let me register a 2nd MINI under my registered name how annoying.

That's odd. I had COOP registered on MINIUSA while COOP II was in production and could switch between them on the site using a single user name...

 

The Owner's Lounge finally listed my Factory Ordered Options today. It looks like they got it right, too!

The excitement is starting to build.

 

Mine too. Strange that there are separate entries for the OBC and the premium package.

 

My options are listed correctly too!

rrypma I have only one entry for Premium Package

My status is still "on order" I can't wait for that to change!

 

me too. Finally, all my options are finally listed in the Owner's Lounge but the status remain as "On Order". However, per MINIUSA my current status is 112.

 

-->chitown_coop; I was able to finally figure out the miniusa.com deal, they hid the "add" button so it was really, really, really hard to find

I gave 1-866-ASK-MINI a call today, my options are correct, and I'm "scheduled for production" which actually means Status 111 or 112.

Cheers,
Ryan

I hate you and your RG-Rs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I just checked my order in the owners lounge and they put all my options in as well. Yeah! At least I know it will be built with the right stuff.

 

Just checked mine. Options now listed!
Wheel color (white) not listed, though.
Status still "On Order." As well it should be.

 

it is really good to hear people has moved to 112. I still pissed off about my 09/19 build day. i think what happened is that the dealer has changed one of their previous order into my order options. that might coz delay. but the order was processed at 16/07 and my options changed at 26/07. i got my EPD 19/09 on 02/08.
I still can not beleive that my MINI has to wait longer. But the good thing is that my MINI got the same birthday with me, 14/09. haaaaahaaaa(entertain myself).

How long do i have to wait to move to 111, i got to 111 on 20th/08.

 

>>Wheel color (white) not listed, though.
My wheels are also white (standard 16" MCS wheels) and it reads "Alloy Wheels White" on the order detail. Might not hurt to double check you're getting white.....or maybe the 17" wheels you're getting don't show color on details summary.

Also...my order detail shows we've ordered "Rain Sensing Wipers and Auto Dipping Mirror" (no I didn't misspell it). I'm hoping no one has been hit on the head by this mirror, anybody seen any posts on that?

 

My just moved up to "sched.for production"...built day 09/05/03...eat your heart out ALMOST THERE!!!

--->Tomwhill, I would call ASKMINI and double check your white wheel option. My first MINI, my MA forgot to order my wheels in white, so me calling saved my order!

--->par_shooter: I tend to call the "auto-dipping" mirror an "auto-dimming" mirror. Dimming is what it actually does, there is no dipping involved anywhere with the mirror, so the name they use seems rather misleading to me

Cheers!

I have a ?....My order doesn't show the JCW kit. Is it because is a dealer installed option?.Also my aux gages do not show either.Anyone has an answer?....Thank you for all your support!

Dealer installed options will not show up in the owner's lounge. For dealer installed accessories, you need to talk to your dealer directly. Also, how much you paid for the center gauges, including labor???

I haven't gotten them yet! However, I did go to Morristown Mini which happened to have a set. I wanted to see them in the flesh against a DS/B they had in the showroom. I was concerned that the wheels might be too dark against a dark color.

I'm about 98% sure I'll buy them. In the sun the diamond black sparkles. In shade they look a bit darker, but not too much.

I love the look, but their being forged is another big reason for my wanting them. If you want to see them on a mini look here:

Thanks, Ryan for the advice.
I emailed my MA and he returned my email in about 20 minutes! He said he would make the correction to the order and it should be listed in the Owner's Lounge by Tuesday.
Thanks again!
Tom

I love those wheels too. If they werent soo heavy and I could actually afford them I would have a set. I knew you were going to show me those pics. I have all of them saved, 1 because of the rims and 2 because it's all EB, so mine will look like that but it will have the sunroof and the x lites.

"So heavy"? Do you really think so? The Tire Rack lists the weight of the 17" as 16.5 lbs. Not the lightest, but still very light.

I have those pics saved too. I assure you that they look even better in person.

Good luck on your EB/EB MCS.

 

yaa, the BBS RG-R's in 17" are quite light, only a Racing Hart, SSR, or other forged wheel will be much lighter, and only by a couple pounds. Keep in mind that BBS designs their wheels to take a pounding, you would have to try really hard to bend one!

anyway, the MINI BBQ today was awesome, a great turnout, good times, a fun cruise around the park afterwards, beautiful weather, a friend even let me drive his MCS...it was all good :smile:

Cheers,
Ryan
