Just got off the phone with ASK-MINI for my weekly update.
Sparky is in production now and is scheduled to be completed 9/3. Hopefully, Sparky will be on the Elektra, travelling across the pond with some of your MINIs. ETA for the west coast is the first week of October, according to the customer relations agent.

Thanks for the input, Mr Ray and eurotrash01. My MA is off on Tuesdays, so I'll pester him tomorrow. So far no VIN in the OL or with live ASK-MINI folk; maybe the MA has it. They are still calling mine a Week 36 build, so maybe we'll start the end of the week. Fingers crossed and thumbs pressed!
Anyway, how are you guys progressing? Are you looking at shipping schedules yet? Are you driving the ASK-MINI folks crazy with your incessant calls? Details, guys, details!

Have you beaten you MA in to submission and gotten a VIN and build date out of him yet? Figured you would have called him @ 9:01am this morning.

Sorry to barge in, but how the heck did you get week 36 when you just ordered on Monday?! Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled for you (really, truly ), but I just don't get how they do this. I was originally scheduled for week 36, but got bumped to week 37, and I ordered July 26th!
Grrrrrr
Grrrrrr
Look at it this way they will have a whole week of practice getting the '09's just right!

I'm just going by what my dealer/MA is telling me. They told me week 36 and right now I'm a code 112 (scheduled for production). They said production of my MCCS should start this Thurs or Friday. My MA said her manager was able to secure a priority spot which jumped me up in the process. Not sure how they did it, but glad they did. I just hope it wasn't me who bumped you...
I feel your pain, the wait is going to hard enough never mind if I ordered on July 26th. Hang in there, the wait will be worth it once your Mini is here
#160
Cruel, very cruel.
I've got nightmares that next time I call I'll find out that I've been bumped to week 38. Then week 39. Then 40.
Kind of Twilight Zone, huh?
And after seeing Lady Godiva's Hot Chocolate MCC, I really do wish I'd ordered that! Have you seen her pics? Her car is georgous!

Yes, I have seen the pics of Lady Godiva's MCC. It's beautiful, I just hope mine looks just as nice.
As for the dealer, I bought mine from Knauz in Lake Bluff, IL. They are outside of Chicago in the north suburbs. I know they do a lot of volume with BMW's so I'm sure it's the same with the Mini's.

BTW I do like the Pepper White its just that here with all the pollution white is extreamly hard to keep clean especially with our acid rain.
Hey if you get built on the 7th your mini might be able to catch that boat on the 8th
If it werent for all the security Id be down at the VDC driving my car off the ship its closer than my dealer.

I also called ASK-MINI today (just once, I swear!), and was put on hold to wait for a rep. Has anyone heard the music they play? It was groovy swinging '60s London stuff, complete with Hammond organ. Kinda silly, but at least it was better than the OL!

I so feel your pain. I ordered on June 28 which I think must have been the very day they ran out of 08s. I thought for sure I would be week 36, but no I'm hanging out in the week 37 waiting room. I'm PW too so maybe that's the reason. It is really exciting to hear the week 36 cars are up for production right now. I'll be checking the OL every day next week for sure!

Technically, though, week 36 has not started yet. The ASK MINI rep told me yesterday you don't get a build date until your car has actually started being produced... so I'm hoping we're just seeing a bunch of lucky b***ards who are getting their week 36 cars started in week 35!
#169
this is what I know from my ASK MINI phone calls. My car is in production with a scheduled completion date of 9/4. So I asked does this mean I am really in week 35 production? I was told no--your production week is the week it is actually completed. I don't have the current production code--was told only the dealer could give me that info. FYI I ordered MC on 7/22/08 and was originally told to expect completion late October with delivery in November. At the end of July the dealer pushed my MC into a MCS production slot and !voila! here I am in week 36! I am in Upstate NY so here's hoping the boat arrives late September. Good luck to all!

I'm in the same limbo as you, CK. I just checked on the Owner's Lounge (hey, it's 2 p.m. over there!) and still "on order." I've called them every day and they still keep telling me week 36. I'll call them in a few minutes again...

The build date is the day your car is fully assembled and completed. Week 36 cars are started in week 35, that is the frame is built and painted. VIN # showed up 8/20 and moved to scheduled for production. Your MA should be able to get you more accurate info than ASK MINI.
The fact that some ordered back in late June and others in August for 2009 models, has to do with what was avalibale to the dealer you purchased from.
Its not a system of first come first served,but more of who sells the most cars and gets the bigger allocation and build slots.

My MCCS is expected to be completed on 9/1 but it has been in the paint shop for the last 4 days. Mini is saying that they are having trouble with the system updating and I should call my MA because it may already be done.
I ordered mine June 25 and was given an arrival of sometime in October with stipulation that it may be an 08 or an 09. The MA couldnt tell me for sure till I had my production number. I hope my silver beauty can catch the first ship in September since they are raising the tax rate on cars in Delaware starting October 1.
Glad eveyone is getting as excited as I am for their new mini's my boyfriend just dosnt understand.

No change yet
tancred,
No change in status according to ASK-MINI yesterday. Interestingly, when I asked for the status code I was told the system has been upgraded so they no longer have that information. I had to ask--and how is this an upgrade?!
Also, apparently us expectant Clubman owners are waiting for a "batch run" so I'm hoping that will be good news for some in week 37 or 38 getting bumped up--rather than the other way around (sorry napria...)
