Change of wheels
The last that you can add, or change an order is before scheduling for production.

No, you won't be able to. But, you might talk with your MA about getting those wheels, actually there are many after market wheels to consider, at the dealer. Don't know what you're looking for, but there are some lighter wheels, Konig, OZ, Enkei Racing, all are less than the OEM wheels, and in my opinion better wheels. Just a thought.

Thank you for the great tracking tips - I found the ship, tracked Charlie2 across the pond, and just found out today I get to pick him up next Tuesday. I am a brand new Mini owner and just beside myself. I almost peed my pants, from jumping up and down, don't want to introduce myself to the new group as a pant peer, but Yippee! I am in ORegon - so look out on the roads next week...Here comes Charlie!

re: aerodynamics
Be prepaired for delays......ship added 3 days from Nov. 3rd to 6th a day or so from port hueneme. Of course I wasn't expecting what is going on now...
The VDC was fast and turned it over to the auto transport Monday morning the 8th of November. The transport company now being used are total flakes and the dealer claims they have no control. As of now delivery to dealer is projected for December 5th (just about a month from arrival to VDC to travel to Northern Ca.). They first stated the 13th, but were no shows....... Not a happy camper.......

I think you still have a good shot at getting it by Christmas if not before then. I ordered a Red Cooper S for my wife as a surprise Christmas present on October the 9th. Made it to the Baltimore VDC last week on November 18th, put on the carrier this Monday and made it to the dealer (Columbus Ohio) this afternoon November 24th.
Thats seven weeks from order to delivery, I also ordered my Clubman this past February and it made it in 7 weeks too. I will keep my fingers crossed for you and don't forget that Mini and your dealer want the order to be booked this year so if I was a betting man, and I am, I would say you will have it before Christmas.
I totally understand you anxiousness, I have been more nervous about getting this one in on time then when I got mine in March by far. I want it to be the perfect Christmas surprise, she will get it Saturday morning when she thinks we are going out for the first of our Christmas shopping. I had my florist get a big red bow, red and white flowers to match the car will be inside. I went all out can't wait to see her face and get a big Christmas hug and kiss.

Update:
The Good news is the Dealer got an almost identical model in today with some further upgrades and is making me very happy! Pick up in a couple days.

Mine is at the port of exit. Nit sure exactly what ship it will make it on. It is bound for Cali. If it is shipping WW then it looks like it won't move out until the 22nd. I can't interpret the k-line schedule, so I'm nit even sure if that is an option for my car.
Hopefully my dealer will have some details soon...not holding my breath though.

I would imagine so, well hopefully that just means that it will be in production soon. I think as soon as I see the status change in the Owners Lounge from "On Order", I will become one of those avid **** obsessive MINI owners calling that line to ask where it is every morning
