Offline | MAY 2005 Production Group Tracking I keep thinking I must be missing it somewhere, but I don't see a thread for MINIs due in May 2005. Is there one? My MINI finally went from "On Order" to "Scheduled for Production" just two days ago after sitting at "On Order" for exactly a month. Anyone else have one due in May? I can't be the only one. ![]() |

Offline | Sleepless in Portland My MCS went "scheduled for production at the beginning of April. I have learned a lot by reading Mini2 for a couple of years, glad that most of the early kinks have been ironed out by Mini. Anyone else out there from the Portland area? |

Offline | Glad to have y'all join in! I called 1-866-ASK-MINI a couple days ago and was told that my completion date was scheduled for April 9th or 10th. I assume from there it goes to paint? The lady at that phone number was extremely friendly and hepful; didn't seem to mind my calling for a status update at all. She encouraged me to call back any time I wanted an update. ![]() I need to learn all the right abbreviations for what my MINI has... lessee... - MCS convertible, CR/B, white bonnet stripes - automatic transmission (never driven a stick, I admit it.) - with just every package they offered, except the... what was it called... whichever one gave it about 5 more horsepower. Didn't go with that one. - onboard navigation system (I get lost a LOT.) - 17" wheels, don't remember the exact type. But they're mighty purty. ![]() Now he just needs a name! (It's a he... not sure why.) Oh, and I need a nice black MINI baseball cap. I have very long hair and in a convertible, I'm going to have to put it up every time I drive if I want to avoid having dreadlocks by the time I get where I'm going... ![]() Oh! And no Portland here... I'm in Austin. Edited to add: Villa Mini, your signature photo is beautiful! I love those subtle checkerboard stripes. Last edited by elderberries : Apr 8th, 2005 at 04:53 PM.

Offline | Not to tell you what thread to post in, but if your car is being built this month (in April), you should join the April production group. That way you will be going through everything with those whose cars are being built at the same time as yours. By the way, I checked out your specs - your MINI is going to be SWEET! Good luck with your production. Hope it's speedy and that you make it on the boat quickly. To me, the boat part was the hardest! Debbie |

| Motoring Soon | Mine went to scheduled for production some time last week with completion the first week of May (looking like May 2nd!) My dealer had quoted my delivery date as Aug 30th when I ordered March 30th. I am probably going to get my Cooper S two months early . I am getting really excited now.My baby: Cooper S Hyper Blue / Black Cold Weather Package Convience Package Premium Package Xenon Headlights DSC Limited-Slip Harmon-Kardon Hi-Fi |

Offline | Mine is scheduled for production May 2 according to customer relations, though the Website still shows it on order with no production date set. Specs: White over yellow, no sunroof (felt the big black rectangle would look funny on a white roof) Cold weather package Sport package Anthracite interior Onboard computer Rear fog lamp MF steering wheel with cruise Spare set of 15 inch rims for my snow tires (from Ebay) But the wait has resulted in major nail biting behaviour here!!!

Offline | Okay, now I'm confused. Just called again and was told production scheduled to begin the week of April 25th -- one week ahead of the original date I was given. Do they often bump dates forward as other orders are cancelled, or are they just confused? Just called again (okay, I'm obsessive-compulsive when it comes to my Mini...his name is Ernie) and they told me he was entering production TODAY, with a completion date of May 4th. Not that I'm upset that he's being assembled early, but the Website still has me listed as On Order. ![]() Last edited by Boondox : Apr 21st, 2005 at 10:40 PM. |

Offline | I ordered my Mini Cooper S Convertible on April 23rd. The Owners Lounge section still shows it as "on order." I called MINI USA today, and the representative told me our car was slotted in for week 22, which I think is the week of May 30th. She estimated that the car might be done at the end of June if everything falls into place. I'm glad she was able to help me because I was a little nervous after seeing the "on order" status in the Mini Owners Lounge. Can you tell I've never ordered a car before! |

Offline | Week 20! I took some advice from this forum and called 866-ASK MINI to check the status of my MCC - although the website says its "on Order", ASK MINI says its scheduled for production!!! It is supposed to be in production as of week 20, May16-22. Different reps have told me different stories as far as how long it takes. One rep said 3 weeks, another 5-8 weeks, another said a month. What have you guys been hearing? I'm SOOOO exicted - losing plenty of sleep and even forgetting to eat because of my constant MINI obsession. Glad to know I'm not the only one I called the dealer today to have the iPOD adapter added - but don't know if I'm too late to add such a spec - fingers crossed. Does anyone know if a feature can be added once the vehicle is scheduled for production? Anyone else out there from the Philadelphia Area? My MIN Convertible: Cool Blue Metallic Exterior and Dash Chrome Mirror Caps and Hinges Black Leather/Sport Seats Black Top Nav System (Yey!) Cold Weather Pkg. Center Arm Rest 3 Sopke w/ Cruise adnd Multifunction DSC CVT Automatic Front Fog Lamps Security System Wind Deflector Cupholder Accessory Black Rubber Floor Mats iPOD Adapter ![]() |

Offline | Different Dealers had different production dates I called many Mini dealers in the Midwest and found out that they gave me many different production build dates. I guess each dealer has different amounts of slots they get each month. I heard build dates ranging from early May to late August. Finally ended up ordereing one from a dealer that said early May. Called up Ask-Mini and was told probably will start around May 5th, but online it still says ON ORDER. My production number is 67678XX. Anyone that has a production number and a build date, would you mind posting the number (minus the last 2 digits) and the build date? Thanks, |

| Motoring Soon | My production number is 6780XXX and when I call ASK MINI I get the message that my Cooper S is scheduled for production with completion May 9th (thanks to having dropped the H/K stereo.) I can't wait. I hope the next ship to the west coast leaves shortly after its completion ![]() |
