EDIT: oops, well I browsed in 1st gear and think I found the answer

I was wondering what 'week' is considered your production week, since I just called ASK-MINI and my status was (finally!) updated to 'In production with a scheduled completion date of August 16th'. Now, does it really take 3 weeks to build it? Does this mean my production week is 33? (the week of the 14th)...

 

Good question, by the time I got my Production # and logged in, it was already built and awaiting shipping.

 

The number of that week in the year of 52 weeks.

 

your MA should provide you a Estimated delivery date and also a build date (birthday_)

 

It takes about 2-3 days to build a mini - it just takes 2-3 weeks for the factory to get to your order. High demand + low production run = long wait times. Don't worry, the time will just fly by. Reallly. No seriously! Ok fine, don't believe me.

 

you can ask it! http://www.mini2.com/forum/faq.php?f..._obc_functions Check out function 1.4... This is really a neat little way to get some info from your car. And you want digital temp read out? No problem RPMs or Speed? No problem.....

But I haven't met anyone yet who has the MPG bias numbers that can be changed.... Grrr, I'd love to get my OBC to read actuall miles per gallon, instead of fictional miles per gallon!

Thanks for the answers - I found the answer pretty much right after I posted (hence the edit) so felt kinda silly afterwards! However, greenracer's message made me think of another question...

So if your saying it only takes a few days to actually build and my status says 'in production with a scheduled completion date of August 16th' right now, does that actually mean it's just scheduled for building in August?! Or does it mean it's actually being built now, and it takes until mid-August for every little bit to be done?!

It's kinda confusing
