You can get the Lounge Leather with the Red Accents? I didn't see that on the configurator. I thought it was the Red Rooster / Cloth combo only? Man, now I'm bummed. I wanted leather, plus the red and I didn't think you could get it.

Congrats. My CR/B is coming in a few weeks. I can't wait.

sorry for the misunderstanding Jweiss, the red isn't on the leather it's on the doors and dash........

I have the convenience package and asked the sales manager today if the cellphone cradle could be ordered ahead. I mentioned that the configuration pages do not mention the necesary purchase of the cradle....we will see what he says. At worst, I want to order it ahead so it is there at drive off.

I was also quoted week 21, but told it would likely be sooner. Oh well, one can always hope...

About the cradle, I didn't know you had to have a phone specific cradle for the armrest. My current cell phone doesn't have Bluetooth, so I scouted my Sprint account for compatible phones found in the sticky thread: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=129431

There's a good deal from Sprint on the RAZR V3m, so I guess I need a cradle for that puppy. Does anyone know where we can find the BMW/MINI p/n for the phones? I'll also post on the forum referenced above..

LOL - I just did the same thing. I had a '05 Titan and just sold it at the local Carmax. Got $500 under good bluebook for it. Congrats on the upcoming Clubman!

It depends on your dealer's allotment. Apparently thbugman's dealer had an opening sooner than yours.

I ordered 4/15. Had the option for May production with another dealer, but they were trying to do a shady deal on me, so I switched.

Hendrick's allotment was full till June production. Be thankful you don't live in the Pacific northwest, where I've seen some won't get theirs till Sept!!

Congrats thbugman!!!!!!!!!

I figure the bigger the dealer the more allotment.
I ordered on 5/3 and got on week 20.

Global Imports..........Atlanta

Actually a re-order on 5/3.......original order on 5/2 that got messed up was on end of week 19.

Just wondering.............how long from finish date might it be until boat hits east coast?.....probably search and find that info

along with the allotment, it also may depend on the type engine. I ordered on 5/3 also at Global in Atlanta, but got week 21 with a manual non-S.

The dealer is checking on my cell phone cradle...no hope for a feebee; I'm afraid.

But; at least it will be there with the car.
