BUILD date or PRODUCTION date?

My status page says "Production Date"

I'm not trying to be a picky a-hole, just want to know if you guys are seeing something different than I am.

I think it takes a little under a day to make one. They produce 100,000+ a year. That's about 274 a day, 11 an hour. The Oxford plant (MINI plant) website is This . Motor On

npartist is right!

"Building" a MINI is the shortest step in the whole process.

i was told by dealer that the build date was 27/9. they didnt say nothing much. they said that they'll call me once the car arrive in Canada.I've called them today, but the salesman wasn't here. so i've to call back on monday to see the status of my car. I wish i could access to Owner'sLounge or 1800-askmini. but.. anyways....
btw, we have many 27/9 MINIs here~~~~ they are all born in the same day.. (maybe urs is just in front of mine..... lol) cheers...
