Thankfully (for my nerves) my mini has had its VIN since 4/4 and has progressed through the paint shop and final assembly. This morning it was awaiting transport, so depending on how many minis make up a trainload...must be a lot... it might be on its way to the docks by now. Of course that conclusion is somewhat speculative on my part.

I can use my booking number to see if your mini has been booked on the same ship. all I need is your vin.

For some reason the WW site doesn't work well with my OS 10 Apple Safari browser. (For you Mac experts out there I also tried changing the user agents in the debug mode of Safari to no avail) I've had to call up my ancient netscape 6 browser in mac classic os9 mode to get it to work and then I still get various errors about 2/3's of the time. Next I tried typing the VIN into the Maersk web site (which works very nicely) but comes up empty. You can give it a shot if you like: WMWRE33494TD86771

Sorry Dude, Not on the list yet.

Hi. I've been lurking around this message board for a week. This is my first post. Found out production started on my Chili Red Cooper today - to be completed April 23rd! (Ordered 3/27) Hopefully she'll be making the trip across the pond shortly afterwards!

shanemcr · Apr 16th, 2004, 03:37 AM

Mine's supposed to be done 4/19, but still not on the shipping site either. Calling ASK MINI hasn't helped--there's been no status update since production started.

Hopefully the one week gestation period will run smoothly.

I'm so excited ... and I just can't hide it!

It's more than a week. If yours is week 17 (like mine), it must have started production around 6 April (like mine). Fingers crossed that things are on schedule! I heard there was some kind of delay of shipping cars out due to a hazmat situation, but I don't know if it affected production.

rimmer14 · Apr 16th, 2004, 04:53 AM

hey tridome...thanx for the link. I ordered my mini on 3/27 and right now its on the Hual Triton heading for New York! According to my princeton dealer...its about 2 weeks ahead of schedule. Shouldnt be long till I get behind the wheel of my mini.

Robert-in-Maine · Apr 16th, 2004, 04:54 AM

I am so psyched!!! My LY/MCS is "awaiting transport" now!!! I hadn't checked (out of brevity) in a few days and read above about someone ordering on the 27th and it is shipping. Well, I ordered on 19.03.04 and w00t it's shipping!!!!

By the way mate -- it works for me in Safari on OSX (the mothership).
The front page did not but go ahead and click the link "tracking" and it will take you to a different page where it seems to work fine.

BTW: are we looking to track a "container number", "bill of lading number", or "booking number"?

Ahh okay. My dealer told me week 17, but defintiely stated production would start on April 19. ??? So how long does it take to build one of these suckers then?

About two weeks. But if they told you week 17 that should be the completion week (at least that's how it worked for mine--so if that's really supposed to be the starting week then maybe they're two weeks ahead for me). Mine started 6 April and is supposed to be done 19 April.

shanemcr · Apr 16th, 2004, 05:14 AM

Oh, and week 17 is 19 April-23 April.

Cool - I think Id rather have waited a few days so me and my MINI can share the same bithdate

Gonna be easy to remember how old the car is too

Really? My dealer said week 16-17 (most likely Friday week 16 - tomorrow). I was under the impresson this was when it started....???

So youre saying my MINI could be rolling off the line, FINISHED... tomorrow??

shanemcr · Apr 16th, 2004, 06:12 AM

Could be. Maybe you should call your dealer to find out. At least get your VIN so you can track the shipping!

minigolf · Apr 16th, 2004, 07:39 AM

Here is a copy of the message form my dealer:

Quote:

Your MINI Cooper S has a PC number (BMW Allocation Number) and is scheduled for build in week 17 which means that your MINI will be produced between the 19th and the 25th of April 2004.

minigolf · Apr 16th, 2004, 10:22 AM

Rogier · Apr 16th, 2004, 10:31 AM
