I'm watching my Mini at the Owner's Lounge (ol.miniusa.com)...

What's the average timespan (days) for the "Scheduled for Production" phase???

Thanks!

(future owner of BRG/W MCS)

Kewl, thanks.

Mine went into "Scheduled for Production" last Sunday. Maybe ~3 days to go then!

This is good to know as my starting production date was 3/26. I don’t mean to jump ahead of you, rideklein, but about how long for awaiting transport? I can’t wait to start motoring!! :smile: :smile:

I bet our MINI's will be on the same boat!

My MCS was bought through Motorwerks Mini -- Minneapolis, MN. I live in Seattle, but my local dealer was 12 months out, so I'm flying out to Minneapolis to pick mine up. They said late April -- best case. May would be expected. But with what I've seen here, April may not be out of the question!

Do you guys have VIN numbers shoeing up on the Owners Lounge? That was a biggy for me. Watch the production video, download from the OL and don't forget to download the Owner's Manual.
Soon you will tracking your ship 4 times a day. It was a wonderful experience for me to watch the voyage progress.
Have fun.

No VIN yet.

I did get the hardcopy "Unofficial Owner's Manual" in the mail the other day. That's some funny ***** -- the MINI Marketing group is a clever bunch.

PS: Big difference between 'Scheduled for Production' and 'In Production'.
Check this Order Tracking FAQ to follow your MINI.

I have been looking at getting a MINI since Oct. Took a trip to Schomp MINI, test drove all three, and decided on a MCS. Then I took the next three months trying to decide what color. I just decided to wait-it-out and buy from them. They say I should expect mine in early June.

>>I bet our MINI's will be on the same boat!

That would be really cool!!!!

>>Soon you will tracking your ship 4 times a day. It was a wonderful experience for me to watch the voyage progress

I am already tracking my "Scheduled for Production" date 4 times a day!!
