Went to the owner's lounge today, status changed from "on order" to "scheduled for production"

Was originally scheduled for Week 34 build (starting Aug 16)

Called ASKMini today, was told that production on my car started last Friday (Week 32)!!

How great...just wanted to give an update.

Is the owners lounge only for the US market??? my car is schedule for week 36 (starting Aug 31)!!!

I wonder when it will be made......... I'm booked for a factory tour on Sep 3rd to try and catch the car in production.

Great news!

It looks like you may be motoring a little sooner than you thought. I hope my week 36 build turns into a week 34.

Owner's Lounge seems fairly worthless. Does give any exact information (like build week).

You have to call the 866-ASK-MINI for specific details.

Owner's Lounge just told me that I was "scheduled for production". The ASKMini people (you have to talk with a live person, not the automated thing) told me it was started last friday.

Owner's lounge is just a US thing, and takes a day or two to update with new info.

And just as Rome was not built in a day, neither are MINIs, (though much happens right at the end, painting and such takes a while) Build week is the week your car is completed. Its likely completition will be close to the 16th, but as you get near that, ask-mini will give you an estimated completition day.

Congrats anyway, now just start worrying about shipping and getting through the VPC quickly.

My MCC "Nemo" went in to production today

per the ASKMINI person i spoke to. The online OL still says on order. Mine was supposed to be a week 35 production.
Bring it to Houston, TX and I will be happy!
