I'm hoping for four weeks - that would get it to me about the time of my birthday.

Does anyone have the specs box filled in detailing factory options in the owners lounge for 9-6?

MINIMENC · Aug 21st, 2002, 11:10 AM

MiniUSA said that it may be a couple of weeks before it showed up. The best thing to do is to get the dealer to e-mail or fax you a copy of what they submitted, just in case. ;-)

Bad Ess · Aug 21st, 2002, 01:05 PM

I have the line items and codes from the dealer. I am hoping to see it on the production order soon. I want to make sure I don't get white wheels etc...

I still can't belive I am getting closer to getting my car.

the tenth character in the VIN is the year. (...3... is 2003)

BigMack · Aug 21st, 2002, 10:58 PM

Thanks JLM, I thought so, but wasn't sure.

I also have been watching my MC with a scheduled production date of 9/6 (or 6/9 for those in an earlier time zone). I called MINIUSA today for first time. They were very helpful and confirmed my build spec (still not visible in the owner's lounge). They also told me that I was now status 150! Maybe we have all moved on "to a higher level". At first MINIUSA said the car would be a 2002 but then checked and said that it showed as a 2003. Still no VIN on the owner's lounge. This is getting good.

BRG/White, premium, cold

ezrally · Aug 23rd, 2002, 11:00 PM

Excellent! Looks like I'll have to check on Monday for the 150.
Welcome to MINI2 too.

MINI ordered on 7/25/02. Got Prod.# two days later. My MC was "on order" forever (well, seemed like it

), with an EPD of 9/06/02. Today, 8/24/02, checked MINI Owner's Lounge and finally moved to "Scheduled for Production"

Owner's Lounge now shows VIN# but the factory installed options box is STILL empty

I've been resisting the urge to call MINIUSA but now I just may have to for my own peace of mind. My only options were 16" runflats, chrome inserts and rear spoiler not too big of a deal (I think) to fix if my car shows up w/ options missing but for some of you guys w/ stuff like DSC or cold weather package I would definately want to be sure that my order was in RIGHT.

Oh it's official now, my family thinks I'm nuts. Maybe it was the scream I let out and the little jig I did around the house chanting "My MINI is scheduled for production, YEAH!!", repeat.

ezrally · Aug 25th, 2002, 01:22 AM

WOO HOO!

Thanks for the heads up monica. Same here.

Give em a call and make sure your options are right for sure, getting close now.

Anybody else?

MINIMENC · Aug 25th, 2002, 01:00 PM

MiniVa - is that 640 for the entire rim package? Did you work out some kind of switch out deal?

Bad Ess · Aug 26th, 2002, 10:41 AM

Yea Baby! We're in the birth canal today! VIN is assigned. Christmas is coming!

Bad Ess · Aug 26th, 2002, 01:57 PM

Does any one know how to get the progress codes as production progresses?

MiniMoke · Aug 26th, 2002, 02:06 PM

I just called. 1-866-275-6464 ... Still at 112.

Anything show up at the OL? Ours was 112 last wk, I didn't check yet this wk.

MiniShuttle · Aug 26th, 2002, 03:12 PM

I actually tried MINIUSA's advice and called my dealer. They appear to have the current codes too. I checked with ASK-MINI as well. Alas, both tell me I'm at 112. Melody (MINIUSA) did tell me that I probably wouldn't move to 150 until the Monday preceeding the completion date. This sould be fantastic news for those who have already gone to 150.

chiph · Aug 26th, 2002, 03:37 PM

Still no VIN for me

But just called the dealer and modified my order - I'm going to try out the Checkerboard decals on my Electric Blue w/ White MCS. Since I'm not getting the sunroof, this should be a pretty bold statement.

Ehh. If I don't like it, I can use a hairdryer to remove the decals. It's only money. ($441 installed, to be precise).

Yes! 150 it is-maybe ours will be one of first all black Ss around.
