I am looking at my order form now...while the price is subject to confirmation I have been assured that my Cooper Chilli Clubman (with these extras: Climate Control, Clear Indicators, Chrome Interior, Brushed alloy dash, Pace wheels, and Bonnet stripes) will not cost more than $47780.81. I am hoping this will reduce when BMW's prefered delivery discount is included.
I was told that two things I was going to add as options will be standard on the Chilli: Bluetooth and rear PDC.
I was also told that they are provisionally looking at March 9th as the launch date (the Australia debut will be here in Melbourne). If it is not the 9th then it will be the 16th (although I hope not as I will be at the GP).
I am also planning on collecting my Clubman on the launch date.

Chris, the MINI sales manager at Doncaster has been on leave for all of January. I plan to speak with him next week and will let you know how I go.

I have also heard that the Clubman may appear as early as the 3rd week in February, but the source was not from MINI. Has anyone else heard this?

I would expect the demo cars to be hitting dealerships last week feb if their going to launch in March.

I was talking to the local dealer yesterday and he mentioned that the Clubman was already out and about on the streets of Melbourne.

When I got home I had a call from a friend who is holidaying in Melbourne and she had just spotted a Clubman, she was able to get a good look at it and said that even though it was carrying 4 people there seemed to be plenty of room inside.

any idea where abouts in Melbourne? A bit of investigating to be done me thinks!

I can believe it as the MINI training week is coming up soon!

Got my invite today to Clubmania, 7pm at Point Park in Lorimer St, Docklands on Thursday March 6th.
I am yet to see a Clubman so I'm looking forward to it.
Still haven't got the final OTR price of mine either.
