Order it on 9/1!

I think I am week 38. My plan is for the Mini to be a DD/AX until the new M3 comes out as a DD. The Mini will replace a Porsche 997S.

Cool how you can track it through the progress on on the ship. I did this with my last BMW.

Look forward to Motoring!

Cheers,
Ken

Why wouldn't the Mini remain as your daily driver, since it will get much better gas mileage than the M3? Also, by commuting in the Mini, you don't put the M3 in harm's way nearly as often; it's protected from all of those idiot drivers out there.

I will probably drive both. My son might get the Mini.

Just got an email form the deal. It went into production today. Is that quick?

Ken, Welcome to NAM. Pretty quick but normal if your dealer has an open production slot.

Enjoy either as a DD, but I think the MINI will be less stressful than the M3 as the DD.

Pictures of both when you have them!

A Mini and an M3? What's that I'm feeling right now? Oh wait, it's jealousy.

/me mentally gives his 318is a loving pat.
