How long to get production #...
I just ordered my MCS Sunday and was told it went "into the system" that same day but I have yet to get a production number. How long does this take normally? I am really anxious and don't want to be a PITA but DAMMIT I WANT MY PRODUCTION NUMBER!!! I am new to this and would really like some info on the process. I was told I was looking at a late July/early August delivery date. Any help/info would be much appreciated!

Gratz on your order. I ordered mine on 05/06/06 and was entered into the system with a number on 05/08/08 and my order still shows as pending, no production date. I'm not sure that having all this tracking is such a great thing given that it takes so long but here's a couple links you might like that will help you follow through the process:

and:

And you can while away your hours, days, weeks, months reading up on this forum and a variety of others. Not to mention all the aftermarket sites where I think if I ordered everything I liked I'd have doubled the price of the car so far.

Based on posts, those ordering in California may have a bit of a wait to get their production number. I ordered mine on a Saturday and my MA emailed me my production number on Monday. I've seen others wait many weeks to get theirs. I think your MA should have a good idea of how long it should be. El Kabong arrived 6weeks and 3 days after order.

We just ordered a our second MINI, a cabrio, from Niello MINI... it took about 2-3 days before we had a production number. Where did you order from?

Our second MINI is already completed, order 04/20 and is waiting for a boat to bring it across the pond!

You can think about carmax to get rid of the Cooper... also, the dealer may give you a decent deal on the trade in since it's a MINI dealer as well! Depends on the dealer I guess, but Niello MA let us know that they give a pretty good return if you trade in another MINI... Hope that helps.
This is our second MINI from Niello...

Very cool, never thought to check the source onthat page, figured Flash kept all the stuff hidden. I suppose the good news is that the order appears correct. Doesn't list a VIN or a build date though. What's anyone else's experience in time from a production number to a build

Thanks for the info everyone. I checked and the color is right now but the code isn't there yet so I guess I'll keep checking. I am going to try to limit myself to 15 times a day.
I've also checked the review order and it's blank so I guess they are still working on things.
Know what's funny... my hubby left for a 1 year deployment to the Persian Gulf in December and should be coming home for two weeks around the time my MINI is supposed to arrive at my dealer and I'm having a tough time deciding which I am more excited about! Does that make me a bad wife?
