Yesterday the automated system said I was scheduled to complete 1/18 and today it says 1/22. Today, customer service told me that the car is in final assembly and has a status of 155 Production Completed.

 

Ditto on everything, Cooper4u.

 

Status has changed to 'In Transit' but no info on what ship yet.
Nothing at the WW site.

 

I called ASK-MINI this morning and the status was "Being Transported to Port of Exit." Yesterday the status was "In Paint Shop" even though estimated completion date was 1/17. So I think the system is kind of slow. Some of our cars are probably in the final stages by now, hopefully, good luck guys/gals!

 

Mine too! Maybe they will be on the boat together...

1-866-ASK-MINI says in the paint shop and the Dealer says status 155. I'm never sure who to believe, but as long as progress is being made I am happy.

 

status 152 - paint shop!

 

i'd trust the dealer more. they have access ASK MINI might not have.
status 155 is final assembly/quality check.

 

I just called and they said 'Paint Shop' today then on to assembly...

 

my mini is awaiting transport

 

Thanks for the heads up there MotorMouth! I appreciate it.

 

Ask-MINI automated says my production is complete and awaiting to be released to a carrier.

 

Mine waited for 3 days before making it to awaiting transport and then 8 days before making it on a boat....and it's not on WW..no tracking

 

Have any r56 made it on the boat yet? Wondering if our cars will take the first boat out .

 

Yes...some are already in NJ.. mine is on a boat and scheduled to be here on the 27th.

 

Nice!

 

Ditto inomis, mine is listed as built and waiting to be released to port! Finally built!

 

AHHHHHH! I'm in week three and in the Mini owners lounge my mini is still 'scheduled for production'. Guess it's time to make a call to 1 866 ask mini...

 

I am also listed as being "en route". How long does that usually take? Does anybody know? I guess I need to remind myself that it doesn't matter since I won't be able to take delivery until 2/17 anyway.

 

Status 153 "Entry Assembly" =)

 

JDR--mine is still listed as Scheduled for Production, too, but ASK-MINI says it's complete and awaiting transport.

 

I am out of Assembly and into Quality almost done now…

 

woot!

status 154 now. "Assembly"

yea, I check too often.

 

Looks like there are a whole bunch of us who will be motoring happily about the time of release! My MA says "Once produced, they usually sit on the dock for around about 7 days, then @ sea 10-15 days, then about 7 days @ S.C. and 3 days on the transport to us...No promises but could be close!!!"

 

Was in final assembly today - QA tomorrow and then waiting with the rest of you. Looking forward to seeing the cars in person. On a side note - the DC Auto Show opens next week - the MINI booth guy told me they're loading the cars in on Sunday - so I'll see a whole bunch of R56s.
