Hi All!
Just got off of the phone with MINIUSA. Seems like they haven't yet changed all of their computer systems to 2004 pricing/options packages. The guy that answered the phone was reading things off "a la carte" because the coding etc will change for 2004. Methinks that's why some (most?) of us don't have options listed in the Owner's Lounge. He couldn't give me any real information except that I was confirmed for a week 37 build. (Ending 9/12/03)

The waiting continues....

Yep. Those w/ 9/5 dates should be updated to 'scheduled for production' now. We're getting closer now.

WOOOO HOOOOOOOO! Just got off the phone with MINIUSA & my car was completed yesterday so I'm officially status 155 & will be 160 shortly. He estimated 4-6 wks from date of production till my MINI arrives. I know this has been asked..but anyone have the link to how to track your MINI once it leaves the port?

Thanks! Kim

Well OlyMini..the good news is they are ahead of schedule so yours will probably be built a week ahead of schedule. I had a build date of 8/22 & mine was done 8/21..so something to look forward to!

Yes, this is how I learned of my status. I've never called MINIUSA yet. Still no options list yet though.

Ryephile, nice site. Looking forward to be added to this prestigious list. Am I really the second NAV?

Thanks Kimini1!

I'm guessing Lemon Drop needs to come around the long way to get to you in Portland. Keep us Westcoasters informed on how long the trip is will ya?

I'm happy for all of us, really I am, I just want MY MINI!

Ok, I'm better now. :smile:

OK, here is the news for me.
First of all just called ASK MINI my status is 111.
how long it take from 111 to 112?
I ask them why i got 19/09 since i ordered so early(mid July). they told me that because some of my options. I think it is the NAV since most people has early date has almost all other options.

Second, I have a new name for my MINI, "CONAN"!!! I figure out from one of the movie i have watched last night.

Waiting to move into 112.

Acutally, Kim should already have her VIN, since Lemon Drop is already built :smile:

What is your VIN, just for fun?

My Mr.Motor was TD66772 (the last 7 digits is the "ID" of the car), he was a March 9th, '03 build.

TC_____ = Cooper with 5-speed
TD_____ = Cooper S
TE_____ = Cooper with CVT
There's also a new VIN code, but I'm not sure what it is (more research is clearly necessary!) )

Cheers,
Ryan

OK, it's TC48770. But, wouldn't Kim's be an 03 then, as it was scheduled for an Aug. build. I think mine may be the first 04 with a VIN?

Hang in there Ryan...(and everyone else!) I was really surprised at how quickly things moved once it went into production. Now the hard part...WAITING, knowing it's done. That's ok..I still can't drive yet anyway!

Hi guys,

I have NAV in my order, and I am still scheduled for week 36 (9/5). In fact, I am ordering everything except park distance control and leather.

My MA did tell me that certain options are "orderable" only if the car is Order Type "1/Customer "SOLD"". That tells me MINI is short of parts for some options, and unless a customer wants it, they won't allow dealers to order these options for unsold cars. He did tell me what those options are, but unfortunately I did not remember them.

KP: you shouldn't have any of those problems since you're "order type 1"

keep in mind that sometimes orders are bundled together with like colors and options, however not always, so it's not imperative your order get bumped back just for ordering Nav. )

Motor-on if ya got it,
Ryan

Hi everyone. I've been zealously reading and re-reading MCO ever since I plunked down my $$ my MCS at Morristown Mini in NJ.

My car is currently scheduled to be built on 9/19. If accurate, I would expect delivery sometime in late-Oct. I can't wait! My car's specs are in my sig. They omit my current aftermarket wheel and tire choice: 17" BBS RG-Rs and Yoko AVS ES 100s.
