I ordered my car on 9/4, it was finished on 9/28, and got onto a boat on 10/1. Supposed to hit Port Hueneme on 10/22. My MA says it usually takes 10-14 business days after that, but that's up to Portland. So I would think unless some issues came up, it would be a lot faster to someone already in So. CA. I think I've been lucky so far on the timing.

Ours should be on the same boat. I called Ask Mini this morning (10/11/07) and they said it was complete and awaiting transportation.

The OL is notoriously out of sync. Mine skipped "At the distribution center" altogether and went from "En Route" to "At your dealership."

Start calling and harrassing your MA, hahaha.

Or, call Ask Mini at 866 275-6464. They have a very good system. The on-line shows in production, but Ask Mini told me when it was in the bodyshop and then the paint shop. It told me today that it was done and awaiting transportation. On line still shows in production.

Got the call yesterday 10-11, that my car is at the dealer. That would be exactly one month to the day that the dealer put the order in! The owner's log tracking and the dealer's info were both inaccurate. Both showed it arriving at the VDC on that date. It showed up early to everyone's surprise.

35 days from order to delivery. Being on the east coast and close to the vdc helped.
