Unfortunately, scheduled for production isn't the same as "in" production. You will find more up-to-date information at 1-866-ASK-MINI, though. The Owner's Lounge was always badly out of date in my case.
Being in Germany it may be a bit more difficult calling "Ask Mini." Is your car being sent to Germany or California? This may impact delivery time as well.
My car sat on order for 3 weeks, too and is now in production. The owner's lounge still says it's "on order." Maybe the behind the times supply of information is to preserve the Mini heritage.
