Delivery is currently set for Wed. after work. They are very busy right now and need to prep the car, change the mirrors back to white and add the clear bra.

However, since I am responsible for the sale of 3 MINI S's at their store this month, I think I will be MOTORING asap.

The attached sticker is the scary one. Too many available options, hence too much $$ spent.
oh man... it's just right there... and you have to wait 4 more days??? well... it's just good to know that it got there safely . did you originally order your mirror caps in white? wonder why they came in chrome...

in order to get the ext chrome (front lower grille opening and around the rear panel where fogs lights reside), you get the chrome mirror caps. SO- I paid for the kit but they will exch em out for plain white ones which I prefer. No ala carte options on the 2 ext chrome trim pieces I wanted.

I have not heard any updates yet, nor is the OL. You guys heard anything about if they made it to VDC yet?

Am I alone here?!

So, I guess I am assuming correctly that everyone has been delivered here? My car is still at the port in Charleston according to my MA ... ARG...Whine!

Same here...No one has given me official word that my car has made it to the Charleston VDC yet (after getting off the boat on the 28th or 29th). They say they will hopefully have it early next week, which means I'll have to wait til next weekend to pick it up, more than likely. :(

I was told mine is still at the VDC and they HOPE it will be at the dealer by the first of the week. So I am in the undelivered group! Glad to see I am not alone. Congrats to those of you that are already delivered (but secretly, I hate you! )

Congrats on your delivery! But yes, as emtrey said others have already taken delivery. Remember you are on the West Coast so those on the East Coast should have received their Minis about two weeks before you since their ocean transport time is less..

Mine came into Charleston on board the Emden. Latest status is that it finally cleared the VDC and it's on a truck and headed my way. Woohoo!

As of yesterday, my MA says it should be on a truck by the 13th and here by the 16th with about 2 days of make ready at dealership. If everything goes according to this plan, I should have it by the end of next week. At this point, I am not holding my breath.

Just got a call from my MA. The car has arrived at the dealer. I can go by and visit it today, but I won't be able to take delivery until Tuesday. Monday will be a make ready day. At least it is in the same state, and I can visit today.

:impatient :impatient :impatient
