Time to start the November builds. I'm week 45 and impatiently waiting...

Nexus · Oct 7th, 2005, 04:04 PM

Heard today I'm week 44, so that would be the first week of November. Can't wait!

Dawgfan · Oct 8th, 2005, 08:21 PM

I'm week 45 also. I ordered Sep. 10. This seems like forever.

Nexus · Oct 8th, 2005, 08:41 PM

If mine is delivered after 15th November, I won't receive it until next year

Company car procedures...

Dealer told me that if there are no delays it will work out OK, so with a bit of luck...... pretty exciting!

Mosco · Oct 8th, 2005, 09:05 PM

That will be quite a race to see if it can get in by the 15th. I'm just hoping by Thanksgiving, but we'll see. Good luck!

Any yes, this does seem like forever. I just ordered about 10 days ago and this already has been rougher than expected. I used to chuckle at the people "freaking" out while they wait and now I've become one...

V70R · Oct 11th, 2005, 12:10 AM

I can't wait for this car. This is quite ridiculous to be feeling this way, but I can't help it. I've got on order a MCSC, in dark silver with a black top. I've gone for the R99 anthracite wheels, anth. dash, LSD, black leather, all packages sans the JCW and I'm as giddy as a school boy. My wife thinks I've gone stark raving mad. Maybe if I simply don't think about it, late Nov. or early Dec. will be here sooner and I'll be happily motoring off to Key West with the top down.

theroyalwe · Oct 16th, 2005, 02:44 AM

I just ordered today and got my build number stating week 45 build. yay! not a bad early xmas present to myself

FrenchCori · Oct 16th, 2005, 04:43 AM

Ordered mine on October 4th, still no build week scheduled. (Endlessly "on order")
Solar Red, Silver roof, Coldweather Package, CVT, anthracite everything, arm rest, xenon.
Man, I hate waiting!

Chicanery · Oct 16th, 2005, 07:04 AM

I just got word from my MA that I'm in the 44th production week

. I suppose I'll have to wait a bit longer for delivery than you East coasters. Us West coasters have to wait for our MINIs to go down through the Panama Canal on the way to the port in So Cal.

Oh well, I'll just have to spend my time continuing to obsessively research all things MINI

. Oh, BTW, HB/B MCS with all the go fast stuff (except JCW) ordered from the nice folks at South Bay MINI in Torrance, CA.

Nexus · Oct 16th, 2005, 08:47 AM

I'm week 44 also, maybe our MINI's will go side by side through the production line

Chicanery · Oct 18th, 2005, 07:49 AM

This might be a really stupid question, but here it is anyway. Does the MINI production week refer to the actual calender week number OR to the fiscal week number? According to an online calender I just looked at the 44th week of 2005 is Oct. 23-29, however I believe the 44th fiscal week is Nov. 27th to Dec. 3rd. Which week will my MINI be built if I'm in the 44th week of production?

FrenchCori · Oct 19th, 2005, 02:00 AM

I called the Mini hotline today. Am scheduled for production (!), but no specific date.

OZChris · Oct 19th, 2005, 06:07 AM

I got my production number today too. I think it's a November build, not sure which week yet. That means a late January delivery to Australia.

Mosco · Oct 19th, 2005, 02:35 PM

Cori,

Talk to a customer rep on the line. It seems like the systems take a looonnggg time to update when they change model years. The auto line still says no production date for me, but I got my production date from a customer service rep a couple weeks ago.

FrenchCori · Oct 19th, 2005, 11:47 PM

Thanks for the advice! Just called and I'm week 44. He also said that they're a bit ahead of schedule right now, and that it could be started a bit earlier.

FrenchCori

Mosco · Oct 20th, 2005, 12:43 AM

Congrats and welcome aboard.

Now why'd you have to go and say they are running ahead of schedule. I'm already impatient enough...

scatpack · Oct 20th, 2005, 05:15 PM

Im joining this group after having to reorder my Cooper S Vert since the dealer screwed up the last one.

Supposed to arrive 1-2 week in December.. shame since I first ordered the car in AUGUST.

Nice weather for a convertible in NJ...:-(

V70R · Oct 21st, 2005, 04:27 PM

I've been schedluled for week 44 - I just phoned mini this morning and it appears that my MCSC started production today! They said it would be finished Nov. 6th - that seems like quite a long time for production. Any thoughts? I'm not complaining - I can't wait! At least the car didn't get to me this week, as there is a big hurricane coming which would rather dampen the fun of top down motoring.

FrenchCori

Oh yess.. that's what I want to hear

How long does production itself normally take?

FrenchCori · Oct 21st, 2005, 09:19 PM

I've heard that actual production takes 3 days.
