Maybe it's the domino effect, but I just got a call telling me that I got moved from May production up to April!

Kboy · Mar 19th, 2004, 08:44 AM

Ive still heard nothing! Ordered 1st Feb, heard zip since. I was told end of April, but heard nothing, really starting to worry they've forgot about poor little me!

Early Delivery

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spoke to my dealer today and he informed me that there's a good chance that UK Minis with a delivery date from April onwards could be (and he stressed 'could be') delivered up to 2 weeks early!!!

He said that currently, upon leaving Oxford, Minis are transported to Doncaster for final preparation/checking etc before being transported to the dealership. Apparently BMW have been running a six month trial to skip the Doncaster stage, and ship Minis from Oxford direct to the dealer. He said that he has just received confirmation from BMW that from April 1st, all Minis will now be shipped straight to the dealer, which could result in April/May/June deliveries being up to 2 weeks early!!

Getting mine, just under two weeks early, was expected for beginning of april, going to pick it up today. Can't wait. Still aint thought of a name yet for it

AidenL · Mar 19th, 2004, 09:36 AM

I think, production slots are now more available, due to people waiting for the facelift perhaps?

People who haven't seen it, maybe?

NAUMini · Mar 22nd, 2004, 04:17 PM

Finally, after several months of "lurking" and never contributing I have finally decided to actually join and post

I put a deposit on my new 2004 MC February 7 and ordered it March 8, 2004. After speaking with the incredibly nice person at ASK MINI I found out that my MC is scheduled to start production the week of March 29th. I hope that it gets built and finishes on April 6, so that my MINI and I can share the same birthday (although 23 years apart

). Here are my specs:

2004 MC IB/W with White Bonnet Stripes
5 Spd
Panther Black Leatherette Interior
White 16" 5 spoke alloy rims
Chrome Bumper Trim
S-Sport Multi-function Steering Wheel
Rain Sensor/Auto Dimming Mirror package

It should arrive sometime in the first/middle part of May (poor desert dweller in AZ here, long time to ship)...

So, I look forward to "hanging out" with all you wonderful people here at Mini2!

Congrats NAUMini! You're lucky--that's quick (from order to production)!

digitaldave · Mar 23rd, 2004, 02:40 PM

I ordered my Cooper on March 7th, and was told last week that it should be delivered to the dealer around April 30th. The down side is that they said it would still take a few days after that for the dealer prep before I could actually collect it

. Never mind, it will be worth the wait. And you never know, it may come forward a little if any of the posts here are anything to go by

.

What I ordered:

Mini Cooper
British Racing Green
White Roof / Mirrors
Chilli Pack
Radio Boost + CD Player
TLC package

Dave.

Thanks ShaneMCR... I know it is really quick but it certainly doesn't feel that way

. Sunny Seattle eh? I worked out there for a couple of summers (just graduated from school) it's quite beautiful... a nice change of scenery from this dry desert of Arizona.

Nice specs Dave... I think you will be really happy with your new baby

. I know the wait will be hard, but at least it doesn't have to cross the big pond

Lozz · Mar 23rd, 2004, 05:16 PM

Has anybody in the UK recieved their mini earlyer than the due date? I'm due on April 16th but really would like it for Easter weekend!!!! My 'S' filler cap came today, it looks so comical, really big!!

AidenL · Mar 23rd, 2004, 05:34 PM

Mines due on the 8th, Holy Thursday, but I'd say by the time its PDId, I'll hardly have it for Easter Weekend.....

minimeplease · Mar 23rd, 2004, 07:12 PM

Until today I was fine just sitting around waiting for my dealer to call and update me on how my Mini was doing. Then I had to log on to MINI2 and have a look-see. Because of all you knowledgeable peeps, I have found out every scrap of information I could about my little Lola (

), she'll be in NYC on 3/31!

What do they say... ignorance is bliss. Now the minutes can't tick away fast enough with all my new found information... and anticipation! Is anyone else out there on the Modern Drive (yes, I saw the horror story, but I am not thinking of that anymore)?

Robert-in-Maine · Mar 24th, 2004, 05:15 PM

Ordered on March 19:

MCS | LY | White R/M/W | Premium & Cold Packages + DSC

Production week 17!
I can't wait. Every meal I have to place the 1/24 scale model Mini on the table... it's pathetic. Still hunting around for ship time estimates to the US east coast.

BTW:LY isn't too popular around this forum. I have seen two in Maine.

Pulled the paperwork just to confirm: Production Week 16 for me. Will be shipped to Charleston SC since my MINI is being delivered to Texas. Will be getting more active on the board within the next few weeks I bet. -
