Mine's not coming till april!! but i'm first in line for a march build. but the wait is by choice due to weather, finance, and other issues. Its like a planned parenthood.

I want to treat my mini right, so that means planning months in advance.... well i've been visiting the showroom since march of last year, so its been a long wait as it is.... but well worth it i'm sure.

Talked to my MA today and she tells me that it will hit the port tomorrow, and could be at the dealership (Roadshow in Memphis) as soon as Monday (1/31) but more than likely mid next week. It was built on 1/6 and was ordered on 11-20-04. Here's the config:

2005 Cooper S
Chili Red
Space Grey Cloth Interior
Anthracite Headliner
Convenience Pkg
Cold Weather Pkg
Anthracite Interior
Premium Pkg
Sport Pkg
Automatic Transmission
Steptronic paddles
White Bonnet Stripes
Chrome Interior
Chrome Exterior - chrome mirrors
White Roof
Rear Fog Lamps
Navigation System
Harmon Kardon Sound System

I'm looking forward to picking up the new baby and driving it back to CA. Looks like this might be one of the first MCSA'a in the USA...............Report to follow!

Cheers

We got our first two (both pre-sold) today in Virginia Beach. One is a hardtop, the other a convertible.

Very cool! For some pics of the automatic stuff (as well as some other goodies you will find installed) see my site at:

Drew,

Had your customer ordered blue tooth preparation, or just a multi function steering wheel?

Thanks

The customer had not ordered Bluetooth prep, just the MFSW. Looks like the phone buttons automatically come with the MFSW starting with Jan. production. We have 2 other Jan. production cars with MFSW and all of them also have the phone buttons.
