We couldn't wait either to get a MINI. We found ours in Northern California (Sacramento) @ Niello MINI. The have a bunch of S' ordered and coming in. http://www.mini.niello.com/inventory HOWEVER, it't all first come, first served. No pre-ordering--not even calling to say you're on your way and hold that car (we missed out on one car by 10 minutes as we raced the 2 hours there from work). It was stressful, but we got our car 4 days after deciding to get one!
Good luck!

When I bought my MINI, the dealer had 3 S models in stock and for sale at MSRP. I don't know how long they lasted or if they still get them, but if you are willing to take a pre-specced model, you can get it sooner if you call around.
