My original production date was 9/20, and yes, it is pathetic to admit that I have been drooling for even the slightest hint that I was moving closer. (Like waiting for the VIN to pop up!)

But what has happened? I've been postponed a week.

I've a fully loaded S in the works. Could it be the Xenon backlog or something? Is anyone else waiting with me?

I feel so alone...

Mine was 9/13. Now it's 9/20. What the heck?! Oh well. It happens.

nikki · Aug 30th, 2002, 08:15 PM

I have to say, my est. prod date started out Aug 9, and it never changed. They shipped on the 15th and I'm picking it up tomorrow (the 30th)!!!! One day before the est. date. No complaints here. Just the luck of the draw, I suppose, plus I didn't order any of the colors or parts that happened to cause a delay. I really don't mean to gloat - my impatience has been agonizing and exhausting even though it all went as planned. But I truly sympathize with those who are dealing with delays!

jaycbird,

My INDI Blue/W S has also slipped from 9/20 to 9/27....

Boo Hoo :-<

MiniShuttle · Aug 30th, 2002, 08:46 PM

It's beginning to look like many of the 9/6's went to 9/13, 9/13's went to 9/20, and 9/20's went to 9/27. Maybe they're just slowing down the transition to 2003's.

Mine did the 9/6 to 9/13 switch.

BigMack · Aug 30th, 2002, 10:51 PM

I went from 10/4 to 10/18 production. & I don't have Xenon's ordered,,,,,,,,,

carton · Aug 30th, 2002, 11:51 PM

I went from 9/13 to 9/20 as well.

Splicer65 · Aug 31st, 2002, 05:04 PM

Don't want to jinx myself , but, hanging at 9/20 since the start

S... Premium Sport Cold, but no leather?

Refrigerator Johnny · Aug 31st, 2002, 09:38 PM

It took a little longer than others, for my wifes 9/6 'on order' to go to 'scheduled for production'.
But it has remained at the 9/6 date.
It is a loaded MC (including the xenons - which I thought, might be a problem).
Maybe the slippage is only for the MCS???

hmmm... I have the lapis blue leather...

Maybe they've run out of mad cows to make seats out of??!

[I shall duck now.]

BigMack · Sep 2nd, 2002, 08:06 AM

Jaycbird,
You may be onto something,
I ordered Lapis Blue leather too.

A shortage of Blue Cows for the seat bottoms????

Ohhhhh now I get why MINI's leather option seemed a tad overpriced, they're (we're?) covering the costs of the rapidly sinking British cattling industry

MINIMENC · Sep 3rd, 2002, 06:10 PM

I was 9/6, slipped to 9/13 and just called MiniUSA and got status 150, so the slipped date may be a little off.

MiniTiger · Sep 4th, 2002, 03:12 PM

All you guys are slipping into my week...
Stay out!

jfelix · Sep 4th, 2002, 11:18 PM

I was 9/6 then 9/20, and now I am 9/26!!! What did I do wrong? Indy blue/b S, maybe it is the lapis blue seats?

9/6 -> 9/26?!
Just how many weeks of production are they going to squeeze out that week? Maybe it IS a simple part they ran out of and will be installing as a last step...?

Bilbo Baggins · Sep 5th, 2002, 08:44 PM

You did nothing wrong. Consider yourself lucky. Just think of every car that goes in front of yours as that much more training for the manufacturering force.

Eventually, their training will be more thouough and the error rate will start to fall. With every car completed yours should be even better.

Every cloud has a silver lining!

districtofc · Sep 6th, 2002, 02:12 PM

it seems like all of you have indi/blue? im 9/20...have been there for a while...

im BRG/B with leatherette

jaycbird · Sep 17th, 2002, 08:20 PM

Just called MINI to make sure I was CD prep'ed for the disc changer and found out it was TOO LATE (can this be done by the dealer now?!), as my 9/27 prod. date is actually 9/20(ish) and I am 150 on 9/16, going to 151 tomorrow!!

WOO HOO!!

BigMack · Sep 17th, 2002, 09:12 PM

All the MINI's coming to us in the USA are prewired for thr 6 disc changer.
I got mine off e-bay...........(2 actually)
Took me 5 minutes to install myself.
