17" Wheels
I have a question for you guys that have it.. how's the bumpiness?
I ordered the stock 15" rotator spokes for now with the thought of getting aftermarket wheels later on.. I found a seller for a crown spokes with a good deal and am thinking of getting that. My brother told me I'll have to sacrifice the ride comfort though. What do you think?
All suggestions and opinions greatly appreciated!

I just got off the phone with my MA. She'd just got off the phone with the BMW district manager. The official word is NO 2009 JCWs will be released from the VDC until July 14th.... contrary to the intel we received earlier -- that cars would be released 7/7. A couple other cars that arrived on the Westenr Highway are at my dealer now. This inhales deeply
Anyway, there is a lot of conflicting info our there surronding the JCW. One would think that with the release, there would be more concrete information. As of now though, it sounds to me like the cars will be ready to pick up anbd motor on the 14th. If I have any more info, I will certainbly share.

I already ordered my plate. It says Ys I Fit. I know, a shocker huh? (I'm 6'9"... so it's an answer to the first question people say when I get out of the car or when I tell people I own a MINI.)

MA out today but I spoke to someone else who said he thinks my car is getting picked up from NJ on the 4th (he said yes they are open?) and I should have it mid-next week. Let's hope so, I am supposed to take it on a road trip-vacation on the 12th!!! I could have been motoring by now!

Either way, I am just happy to be getting out of a gas guzzler! If I don't get it until a few days after the 14th, well, it is what it is. Maybe I will give my MA a call right now! Dance, I am sure that everything will work itself out and you will be motoring vey soon!

That luggage is sweet, the color looks just like mellow yellow! I haven't measured the boot, which pieces will fit in there? That safari beano pr5 looks like a nice size for a weekend.

Hey fellow Canadian... so let me get this straight - it takes nearly a full month of transport between the arrival at the VDC and delivery at your dealer? Wow! I would think the train ride would take a week, a week and a half at the most. That's pretty gruelling! Probably would be more feasible to just fly it straight from the factory to BC.
So, what's puzzling me is that all the remains is the truck ride and dealer prep. Sheesh, how can that take almost two weeks?!
I'm hoping the dealer was being conservative and with luck I'll take delivery next week.

Wow! Away from the computer for a day and I'm finally all caught up!
Congrats to everyone who took delivery! They are some nice rides! The beige leather looks fabulous! I like the white wheels with the Sparkling Silver, never would have thought of that.
Like the badge, can't wait to see what dchap comes up with.
I have been seeing more and more MINIs on the road lately. I think everyone is getting one! I saw two on my way to work, when I normally never see any along that route. There are some days when I see a dozen, and some days when I see none. I take that back, I will see at least one (MINE) every day from now on!

Hey 23ers... do I get to be an honorary Week 23 member? I was one of the originals (posting #2, right behind OWG), but then my production got pushed up. Started in Week 21, finished in week 22, left Southampton in Week 23). Arrived at the dealer yesterday (7/1) and trying to schedule delivery for tomorrow!

i am going to try and make a badge tonight, I have been busy learning other programs recently. Apple Pro Aps are consuming my time, along with work.
I never got a customer service survey call from Ottos, or a return call from the service manager that I had called and left a message for. Oh well.

Maggy's HERE
Just got home from the dealership. Maggy is all mine!! I can't believe how great these cars are to drive. I took the long way home (53 miles) and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. She is definitely a Maggy (thank you very much) and is everything and more than I expected. Will post pics tomorrow.
Do I get my wings now?

I have a blackberry 8730e.
It was really funny one night we stopped to make a call. I forgot about the bluetooth. I dialed 411 to get a phone number for a hotel. And my car talked to me! of course it was the bluetooth. But we both laughed that this car is so good it can make hotel resevervations!
good luck!
