Just placed an order Saturday at Morristown Mini in New Jersey for a BRG with White Roof, Fully Loaded except GPS, Automatic Transmission. Had to get an automatic since im in bumper to bumper every day. This car is pretty damn slow!!. I hope I can bring up the HP to an acceptable level with a CAI and chip. Stock the automatic is just BARELY ACCEPTABLE. Dealer tells me Build date is July 23 and delivery in September. Is this realistic?

I'm a little puzzled here.

You've ordered an Auto as you're always bumper to bumper everyday, but you think the car is too slow.

If you're bumper to bumper all day, how fast can you go?

Of course, the Cooper S is quicker, but you'd have to 'get a stick' to get that one.

Auto - Speed ?????

You want a manual if you want to play.

My "TOY" is a Honda S2000. My daily driver is going to be the Cooper. I had to face reality and realize that driving a stick to and from work (50 miles each way) would blow so I couldn't get the S.

You do know the Cooper S beat that in the latest EVO magazine.

EVO'S been smokin crack! How can you possibly compare a two seat convertible roadster to the Cooper S? Two awesome but TOTALLY DIFFERENT cars. I just sold a Boxster S and went with the S2000. Now here are two cars for a comparison!!

Was out playing in a Cooper S the other night and my colleague from work couldn't shake me off his tail in a 540 Special supercharged to 407bhp. Knocks spots off.

...as for your other question; yes it seems perfectly reasonable. i'm getting a brg cooper from the morristown ds and i seem to be just about a month ahead of your schedule. if you're getting it fully loaded i'm guessing there might be stuff that'll push your dates ahead; xenons and rain sensing wipers for example...
