I don't think ours will have the 2008 changes, last I heard all orders up through the end of November would be '07s. On the plus side, ours will also be cheaper

My MA said Nov. order with Feb. delivery for '08 cars.

Everything I've read suggests auto-up and USB will not arrive early, unlike other changes. (Power-folding mirrors in cold weather package, for example, which made me very happy.) I'm hoping for the auto-up window, but I'm not counting on it. I didn't order bluetooth, so I know I won't get the USB.

My car's in production, as well. I also got the VIN for my car today when I called. The waiting is getting more difficult.

KXLight, yes i am from Seattle and i would be picking up my mini from Rasmussen. I haven't decided about the trip - i might con a friend to drive me over or con a friend to go with me and have him drive my old trusty honda back and by con i mean convince . It all boils down to when i can go take delivery - if by some chance the car shows up on the 21st, i am planning to grab a couple of bags, get on the bus/train to OR and go on a roadtrip for 3-4 days. I live close to downtown - so either transportation is fine by/for me.

Mine's due the 18th @ my dealer!! I'm guessing i'm WK 40, but who knows. I placed the order on Sept 15th!! If he's right, that makes it 1 moth, 3 days from when I ordered it!!! woot!! (I live in Texas btw.)

Alright, it seems that if the new addition to the family is to arrive on the 18th, then it's on the FREEDOM (Voyage: EB739-FRE). It's due in SC on the 13th, which would give BMW a week to get it to Texas I think my dates are a bit off, but who knows, maybe its just luck!!

Oh yeah, my mini is a:

Laser Blue Mini Cooper S
White Roof
White Bonnet Stripes
Automatic Transmission
Premium Package
Standard Interior
iPod Adapter
Alarm System
Bridge Spoke Rims

Call 1-866-ASK-MINI, ask for a human (customer relations) and give them your production number and ask for week/production status.
