MINI2

CraigNeville · Mar 27th, 2006, 03:09 PM

I thought I will kick off the May production group thread since no-one else has yet.

I have just got off the phone to the dealers and the production date has been set for my new mini in the first week of May with mid May( probably the 20th) for delivery.

Specs are as follows:

Mini Cooper S with Chilli Pack
Dark Silver / Black Roof and Caps
Alloy Patina Dash
17" Bullets

Extras are:-
Black Gravity Leather
Chrome Line Interior
Harmon Kardon Hifi
Anthractie Headliner

I am pretty happy with the spec and dont think there is anything else i want/need, but feel free to make some suggestions.

To say I cant wait till the 20th is an understatement, this will be my first mini

Madeira Jon · Mar 27th, 2006, 09:49 PM

CRAIGNEVILE, what about a multi finction steering wheel, that also will give you cruise control. and how about an arm rest?

CraigNeville · Mar 28th, 2006, 06:29 PM

Didnt really fancy the arm rest to be honest. I did think about the MFSW but the only reason i would use it would be for the cruise control, i work in london and so my commute is by train and i will hardly ever find myself on motorways or anywhere that would warrant it. This MCS is just going to be for fun

What features does it come with other than radio controls and cruise control, is it just similar to a normal bmw MFSW do you know?

Laury · Mar 28th, 2006, 06:31 PM

I forgot to place MFSW on my order but will do shortly, it's only £160 extra and well worth the price for those extra holiday miles....

Arty13 · Apr 12th, 2006, 05:57 AM

I finally called the MINI hotline, and my MCS '06 is in production and the est. production completion date is April 21st. How long does it usually take to get to Minnesota USA from the plant?

Here is my order,

MCS '06
Dark Silver/Silver roof
Silver U bonnet stripe
Premium Package
Cold Package
Front Fog Lights
Center Arm Rest
... and all the other basic stuff...

I plan on putting a Sub and a CarPC in my MCS once I receive it and probably tinting the windows

I just cant wait till it gets here.

since it's getting to get nice in Minnesota, I have started to see more and more MINIs on the road,
what agony! i want my MCS!

Depends if the tide is out and how strong the westerly wind is!

S33BBY · Apr 15th, 2006, 01:57 PM

Edit: realised I'm probably the April 2006 production group... Moved to the correct thread.

Arty:

If your car is to be complete in April, then you should be looking in the April Production Group. We've got lots of info there.

My PH/W MCS was complete on April 2. It boarded it's ship, Liberty, on April 7th and is currently just off the coast of Long Island. It should dock this afternoon. My dealer is Classic MINI in Mentor OH and I expect my baby to be there by the 25th or 26th of April.

Have fun tracking!

AirGuitarChampion · Apr 18th, 2006, 08:40 PM

Ordered on April 15th from Craig at Mini Crowfoot, Calgary, AB:

BRG MCSa

-DSC
-white hood stripes/ roof / mirror caps
-black leatherette
-alloy patina interior trim

Pretty basic, I mean, honestly the car comes with everything I need / like / want right out of the box!

From all that I've read / heard, it should be here June 16th at the earliest, ranging to single digit July

S33BBY · Apr 18th, 2006, 08:43 PM

Nice car, but not in the May 2006 production group...

Laury · Apr 22nd, 2006, 12:34 AM

found out that my car will be in the May and not April production afterall, or to be precise early May 06 deliverable towards the end of that month

so greetings May 06 peeps......

...still, we can hardly wait....

destynie · Apr 26th, 2006, 11:40 PM

my mini will be landing in oxnard, cali on may 5th

so they say

!!! I can't wait!!

AMW · Apr 27th, 2006, 05:18 PM

My MINI's order status changed today, from "On Order" to "Scheduled for Production", and I just called 866-ASK-MINI, and it appears that my MINI is in production, with an estimated completion date of May 5th!!! I guess that puts my in the May production group?

Timeline: Ordered from MINI of Peabody on April 3rd. I was told to expect production around May 19th, with delivery in early to mid June. So, obviously this news is a lot earlier than I expected!!!

Specs:

2006 MCSa
Space Blue/Silver (no stripes)
Premium package
Cold weather package
Space Gray/Black cloth seats
DSC, 16" wheels (default)
Front and rear fog lights
Chrono package
Anthracite interior (but not the headliner; hoping the default grey headliner will match with the grey in the seat upholstery)
Chrome line interior
Chrome front grill
Ipod adaptor
Invisishield

This will be, at age 34 (having been driving parent's, friend's, girlfriend's and rental cars since age 16), my first car. I'm way beyond psyched!

MarcusCT · Apr 27th, 2006, 08:56 PM

My new MINI has a completion date of May 6, 2006.

Does anyone have an estimate of when it might be ready for pickup on the east coast of the US?

Thanks!

dbitting · Apr 28th, 2006, 05:16 PM

Woohoo! My MINI is scheduled to be completed on May 5th before starting her journey to Pleasanton, CA. Looks like my MINI is a sibling of AMW's.

Specs:

'06 MCS Convertible
6 Speed Manual
Cool Blue
Black Leather
Cold Weather Package
Premium Package

Cinco de Mayo will be a little more special this year!

Cheers,
--Doug

Me too, me too! Just found out (today) that my MCSa is scheduled to be completed 6 May 2006--maybe they'll be on the boat together, MarcusCT. My MINI will also be calling the DC Metro area home...so anyone that can answer the pickup time estimate would have my undying gratitude...

Laury · Apr 28th, 2006, 10:48 PM

Electric Folding Door Mirrors

My dealer has provided me with my Build no PC 9798954 and a chassis no of TK 88576

The car is a MCS Chili pack with JCW and chrome interior pack. I'm informed by the dealer that it is down for a May build. Where do i go to follow my new car through factory to delivery in Australia? Any help would be appreciated.
