Mike, you're ordering a Cooper I assume? Let us know when you decide on the color and options!
YIKES!FiremanMike said:I had a call from my dealer last night, I am able to order my car, NOT take a pre-spec! I am #15 overall, #3 S in St Louis. Dealer said that the 'high on the list people' are being contacted and offered the chance to order. I will order this morning, the hardest decision is color, wife and I discussed this for hours. I may not decide until I tell him. So, people, have faith. It seems that it is about to happen.

Highly unlikely, Mike-- At least if my well-placed source is any indication. ...Unless you plan to go to Florida by way of MontanaFiremanMike said:

... That works great as my vacation to Florida is scheduled the 1st of June. Iowa to new Orleans to Bonita Springs, Fla. Back trip thru Atlanta to St Louis (may need to schedule the 1st oil change then) and back home. On my route?
So it looks like you'll be doing ON that trip.FiremanMike said:10K between oil changes? Nah, I will do it myself at least the first time or two at 3.5K. It makes me feel better.

If BMW wanted input for pre-spec'ing cars I would think that all of us in the front of waiting lists would be contacted. I'm # 3 on an 'S' waiting list and haven't heard anything. I suspect the dealer is trying to match customers to pre-spec'd cars.BruceK said:
The MINI salesperson said BMW wanted input as to how to supply the first batch of cars so they could meet the needs of the dealership's customers. Describing it that way, it didn't exactly sound like an official, specific customer order to me, but a way to find homes for the pre-spec cars quickly.

I asked my dealer about ordering cars and they said we will be able to as soon as they get an allocation.
