On Aug. 6th I had ordered my Electric Blue/Black MCS.
The Owners Lounge shows a week 34 build, Aug. 23rd. production date.

Status 150 on Aug. 9th.
Status 151 on Aug. 16th.
Status 160 on Aug. 21st.

We'll see how it goes.

I have a strange feeling that August production will Zoom right along, as I think a bunch of orders are on hold until after September production starts. (People wanting the '03 models).
I was counting on the '02 model to retain it's value better than the '03, as it is the FIRST year for us in the USA.

Now my Motoring Advisor has ordered me an '03 Cooper S, as he has an eager customer that wants the previous one I ordered.
I'm OK with that, as it will give me some more paychecks for a bigger down payment. (or more options, hehe)

Any thoughts?? (We don't need No Steenking cup holders!!!)

but isn't this the first production year for the Cooper S ANYWHERE?

I think THAT's enough of a reason to count on resale to be higher than it will be for future production years.

But then, one year from now we may be kicking ourselves for purchasing a first year model.

The BMW Electronic Parts Catalog has a listing for 2001 MINI Coopers.
I from that figured that there must be some 2001 MINIs in the world, (somewhere).

My Cooper was an 8/23 and I just looked up up on the W&W web site and found that it was loaded onto the Don Juan on 8/31 headed for NY. Who knows how long it'll take to get to my dealer in Richmond, but at least it's built and on the way.

Hi LIZZS,
The ships don't take long at sea, & your MINI will be at your dealer sooner than you think, (Good prediction, eh?)
