I wouldn't be able to wait again! If I get another mini I'm finding one in the states already!!! 
if I had to wait another 2 months I think I'd loose my mind!!! I've already almost lost it during this wait!!! Patience and I, well we just don't see eye to eye!!!
What are you worried about not liking?!

Just wanted to post that I picked up my 2012 CMS4 Saturday.
It actually arrived Jan 2nd, but I was out of town, and missed the $750 Motortober.
My MA tried to resubmit it to Mini but they wouldn't give in.
I also tried to argue to the $250 FLF option, as I found out they didn't make everyone pay for it, unless they specifically ordered it. I was a bit pissed off about that fact, but
they wouldn't budge since I had asked for it.
The only additional coverage I took was tire/wheels, as I was told (and it is indeed written on the contract), you can only take this option on delivery day. However, it's
fully cancellable in California for 60 days, and prorated after if you cancel.
Thoughts on this coverage?
also, I'll post pics soon.

I made a mistake, I meant CMS4 for the model acronym (assuming that is correct, I got
a Countryman S All 4)
Anyways, the coverage is for 5 years, and covers alll wheels and tires as long as they are in some sort of "approved" list by Mini - I have no idea where to find this list. Not ust the originals, but any others you put on your car. Technically, my tires could meet some sort of demise before they have to 2/32-3/32 tread.
The worry is that the run-flats are unpatchable (this is what I have been told at least),
and aside from living in the city, I will take car several times a year in the snow/ice to Tahoe.

Thanks!! I've been trying to be "constructive" with my time instead of continuing to read all the horror stories and psych myself out Haha!! I can't wait until Rupert comes and I can get a good picture of him to Cooperation(sp?) so he can make me a real shnazzy one with a cute minion! Well at least I hope he will!!!

I think my Mini will be on the same boat as yours! Have you heard anything? I figured it would make either the Queen Sapphire or Toronto (I know its probably wishful thinking that it will make the QS)...
I contact my MA 1X per week (usually on a fri) and he acts like I'm being overanxious...

My MiniPerson should text me tomorrow if she's at work and if there are any changes. I really am lucky to have a good MiniPerson! There are a lot of people on here who can't say the same! But your MiniPerson should feel lucky not to have me, because I can say once a week is definitely not overanxious! He'd be lucky if I didn't contact him twice a day!!!
I am giving you kudos on having the self restraint of only once a week check in!

Nothing yet! Still no cargo info for the QS on the WW website. I'm hoping once I get the cargo list I'll be able to compare those numbers to mine and see how far out we are! I would love to look at that list and see Rupert, but since he was finished on the 23rd and the boat left on the 24th I just don't think that's enough time.
My MiniPerson should text me tomorrow if she's at work and if there are any changes. I really am lucky to have a good MiniPerson! There are a lot of people on here who can't say the same!

This is an insert from one of my original posts so the numbers might be even more now
Like any good Mini Parent I tried to kill time doing research so I would be ready for my Mini responsibility… So I signed up to the OL and have been watching it like a hawk. Well maybe like watching for water to boil because it never changes. I have the apps downloaded and set up as much as can be without the car. I have read the official and unofficial owners manuals all the way through (the official one twice). I have read many blogs and watched countless YouTube videos. I have been through all the extras on both the mini and owners lounge websites. Not only do I know how to adjust the seats and roll up the window, I now know that corner breaking assist is good in winter driving so I won't be indebted to a moose! I even found a list of all the voice commands and made a small in car/purse size one to bring with until I learn them all!
I'm just flat out crazy I guess!!! Haha! But at least we are in good company here!

I know what you mean, I've been watching videos and reading everything here on NAM. I'm almost afraid that I'm going to miss something or not know something. But as soon as I get the car, I'll be playing around with everything trying to learn it all. I can read the OM all day, but until I get a chance to play with it, nothin.
This wait is driving me crazy!! And I only just ordered!

I was really freaking myself out for a bit and had to take a break from reading everything! I definitely agree that until I get him, it's just doesn't have the full affect!!! I'm really excited about the connected but don't know what I will play with first! I'll probably be so excited I will just sit there! Haha!
It really is the longest I've ever had to wait for anything! It is so painful!

I've never ordered a car before so this is my first. My husband ordered his and suggested I order mine. I would have loved to drive my CMS to work this morning. Pouring down rain and just nasty outside.
And yeah, the day before we go pick her up, I'm sure I won't sleep!

I think about getting him all the time and wish I had him already! Every time I get in my cold truck I say "soon I will be in Rupert with heated seats"! Haha!!
I ordered Rupert Dec 27th, he went into production on Jan 12th and finished production the 23rd. Now we are just waiting on a boat... Come on Boat!!!
