Yours is coming as mine is going!

IB/W is a wicked colour for a cooper. Mine is the same with bonnet stripes and when she's clean she gets the looks wherever she goes. Good choice!

I will miss her when my all black MCS turns up on Friday!!!!!!!

Welcome to the process

ClashCityRocker · Mar 11th, 2004, 01:28 PM

I had a postcard today which told me that my MINI cooper was being built in Oxford. I assume everyone gets one of these so any advice on how long I can expect to wait now? My initial date was April 22nd - do you think it may now be earlier???

tablist · Mar 11th, 2004, 08:34 PM

Have a delivery date of April 17th, and it just can't come soon enough!!

All black MCS
Sun Roof
Chili Pack
Visibility Pack
Climate Control
Darkened Glass
Heated Washers/Mirrors
CD Prep and basic ICE (looking at Alpine or Nakamichi aftermarket)

Is there any way we can track a UK order online, or is that just a US facility?

Don't think so; think you've just gotta keep whinging on at your dealer, might be wrong tho.

Bananafishbones · Mar 12th, 2004, 03:11 PM

MC Chili Red/White

Just counting the hours, tick tock tick tock!!!

Christina · Mar 12th, 2004, 04:30 PM

I just got word this morning that my production date is April 9! It's still going to be a long wait, from that date to whatever time it takes to reach the East Coast, get options installed by the dealer there, then a truck ride out to me in California... but still much better than paying $2500 over MSRP AND waiting 4+ months at my local dealer!

MCS BRG/Black
Black leather
Black bonnet stripes
Anthracite dash
Sport Package
Auto AC
HK sound system
Rear fog lamp
Aux jack for the iPod!

Best wishes for earlier-than-expected deliveries to all!

After being an active member on this board since SEPTEMBER 02 without a MINI of my own.. the final count down has started!!

Last Monday I received my production number from Otto's MINI in West Chester PA.
It's official... Production week 15 here !

"Blitzen"

Electric Blue / White / White S-Lites
Lapis Blue Interior / Alloy Patina
Rear Fogs
Premium <S-Sport 2 Spoke MFS> / Sport / Cold Weather

Who else is being built in April??

Let the countdown begin!! Wahooo!

Vinnie · Mar 15th, 2004, 06:14 PM

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!!

Now let me stress that he didn't guarantee anything, but he did sound very optimistic!!

Just keep your fingers and toes crossed!!

I had a postcard through today and my initial delivery date was April 17th. I doubt it's of any significance though as mine was sent from the dealer, and not from Oxford...

I'm now hoping for sometime around the 10th since speaking to my dealer (see above)

Lozz · Mar 18th, 2004, 08:56 AM

Hi everybody, i ordered my mini on the 21st Febuary and have been given an expected date of April 20th.

Specs are;
Mini Cooper - cosmos black - roof in body colour
Chilli Pack
17" S-spokes
ASC+T
Heated mirrors / Washerjets
Darkened glass
Alarm

I am pulling my hair out waiting! my test drive seems like a distant memory now.
Did many people here get an earlyer date than first expected?
Another quick question, i've read that the S's have a running in period of around 1250 miles, does anybody know if it the same on the cooper?

pocket_rocket · Mar 18th, 2004, 11:34 AM

Vinnie and Lozz... congratulations...! Welcome to the April thread.. so far people are quiet on here... too quiet.. so hang in there and keep posting and as we start to watch our cars enter the "birth canal" things will pick up..

Lozz.. I am not sure but I would play it safe until 1000 at least!! I do that with every new car regardless but the tough thing is that there is a drive right around the time my car is to be delivered so I hope I can get the miles on quick enough to keep up!!

ALSO: I think as we hit the different stages we should post on here.. that way we know who was built at the same time and if we have problems we can pm each other to see if the other is having the same problem...

Cheers,

Craig
Pennsylvania

Lozz · Mar 18th, 2004, 04:29 PM

Hi, a quick update, my dealer just rang to confirm my options and give me an updated delivery date, April 16th!!
