Joining the family
After a few weeks of thinking it over, running the numbers, and searching for a good price in my area I finally placed my order yesterday at Irvine Mini for an MCSa.
Now the wait begins... hoping to get the VIN/production# soon so I can begin obsessively tracking production
Being on the west coast, I suspect I won't see my car until September.

It's an agonizing wait! Your MA should email you the production number within a day or two. Then you can start obsessively checking the OL like the rest of us! 
Don't forget about calling ASKMINI either. They're more likely to have more up to date information than the OL.
My car might be scheduled for week 28 (though my call this week said that it wasn't yet scheduled), and the OL still says "On Order."
Oh, and for the first few days, the OL showed my production number as coming up for a CR MC, not the PW that I ordered. It just took a few days for my order to get into the system.

Yeah, but don't freak if it is wrong the first time you check. If you were slipped into a dealer slot, it takes them a few days to update the car to your specs vs. the prior dealer speced car. That's what happened to me.
