How long did you have to wait to get your MINI?

[howdyem]

Hi all,

How long did you all have to wait (after placing your order) for your MINI to be delivered?

I'm planning on ordering a MCS w/ Premium, Convenience, Hyper Sport packages, LSD, Parking Distance. I live in Southern California, and want to know how long it would take for me get it.

Thanks!!!

Ordered an Auto MCS R56 in February, getting it in late May

-SatNav
-SunRoof
-iPod
-Lounge Leather

US dealers get their allocations about 5 weeks prior to actual build month. Once your MINI is built it will take at least a month to get to your SoCal dealer.

If the following pictures from the MotoringFile are any indication, you might want to rethink ordering the Hyper Sport Package

Oh wow... thanks MINIAC for these Hyper Sport pictures... hmmm... I'll have to think about it...

Go for the JCW aprons but not the above

I think the JCW side skirts look better because the black of the wheel arches is continued whereas these look more like an after thought (unless you're thinking of having the arches colour coded that is)! But as always, it's personal taste!

My Cooper took a little over 5 weeks.

I ordered my Cooper on 13th March and I have an estimated date of middle of June for when they finish building it, so could be another week or so after that! Aaaarrrgghhh! So impatient!

I placed my order on March 3, picked up on April 23. But this was because I took a cancelled order that was originally placed on February 19.
