When does my status of my Cooper switch from "on order" to "scheduled for production"

When does my status of my 2004 Cooper switch from "on order" to "scheduled for production"?

Does it switch to "scheduled for production" a few days, two weeks, or one week before it gets produced?

Right now it still says its "on order" but my dealer thought it should be produced before the end of the month.

Johnsocal, What's your production number? A bunch of us in the June Production Thread are tracking our MINI's, and I can tell you from personal experience that the status on the web site doesn't change until the last minute. Some of us now in production just noticed the change this week.

Mostlikely it updates the status at the end of the business day. Mine went from 'on order' for a week and a half, to 'scheduled for production', which took another week or so, then went to 'awaiting transport' which lased almost 2 weeks. It is currently on 'en route' status which will take about 4 to 5 weeks to get here.

I am in the June production group - My baby is on the Madame Butterfly. I have been unable to track the ship in the Marine Observation data sheets - call # 9VHF. Has anybody been able to track her? I know that the arrival date to port has been moved back to the 18th. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

That stuff online isn't very accurate. Mine took a few weeks to change to "Scheduled for Production." It actually didn't change to "At your MINI Dealer" until AFTER I took the car home. The best way to find out is to either call 1-866-ASKMINI or talk to your dealer.

I called the 1-866-ask-mini and they couldnt tell me anything...how did you find out the boat name?
