United-States After ordering your MINI - how long was it "On Order"?

Hello all - I ordered my MINI Cooper about 2 weeks ago and it is still "On Order". How long did it take for most of you to have your MINI "Scheduled for production"?
Thanks!

He's talking about the order status in the Owner's Lounge on miniusa.com

It took me about 4 months from putting down my deposit to when I got my production number. And, it will be about 2 more months until the car arrives...Dec 22nd! I hear we on the West Coast USA have some of the longest waits.

Nearly two months for me!
I ordered on Sept. 6 and I wasn't "Scheduled for Production" until Oct. 26.
I'm due to pick up my MC tomorrow or Wednesday.

Good luck with your wait, BlackBear!

Forever!

Seriously, mine was scheduled for production about 1 month before it's original est. production date. It changed twice after that. Good luck. I ended up waiting over 2 1/2 months from order to delivery, but it was sooooo worth the wait.

Oh, I guess I could qualify that a bit. My MC had to get from Oxford, UK to San Antonio, Texas via South Carolina. I'd still be waiting if I had ordered a MCS. Don't worry, once you get your MINI, you'll forget all about the obnoxious wait. You'll be too busy offering to take your friends to the airport/grocery store/work/corner store.

Rich_IX, did you order a MC or MCS? That seems like a long wait for a MC.

Thanks for all your input.
After placing my deposit, I got my production number in just 3 days from Mini of Nashville - just not sure what the delay to schedule for production is all about. But, like many of you said, I'll forget all about this wait when my MC gets here!
