Keep us posted on how things are coming along!!!
Nice to meet another person that ordered on Saturday. I will keep you posted on mine and you do the same please.
My sales person told me they only allow each dealer order so many a week. and that is what pushes it to the next week of delivery!
I think she just pushed me another week!

You will not regret ordering them.

Well the only thing more tedious than waiting for your MINI to be built and delivered is watching paint dry. I think i managed to read almost every thread on NAM during that 5 week period. I do not wait for things very well and became a general pest lurking about Cincinnati MINI for 5 weeks. It seemed as though there was a collective "Sigh" every time they saw me walking in.

Well maybe you will get surprised and have it come in earlier than expected....For now I guess we just sit back and wait......

Great. Who did you talk with. My MA was Jay. Overall i was very pleased with the whole ordering/purchasing experience. Are you going to order or buy off the lot?

so I just checked the owners lounge and the info has been updated so that it now reflects the car that I ordered. One problem though, it doesn't mention the Bluetooth/USB iPod connection... should this be listed or not? everything else seems to be there and correct though.

I hope it comes in June, that's what I was told last week, but then saturday it changed to mid-late July.

I was told Mid July on Saturday when i ordered. My MA also said that when you see it online it might be listed wrong at first. but within a few weeks it will be correct. I would call them just to comfirm.
I called today to add the rear fog lights and she still didn't mention a production number. i will call tomorrow to see if i can get that.

good luck at ottos, nice group up there. I worked with a guy named Brook before, he's pretty laid back and easy going, he'll take good care of you and answer any questions.
