What port is yours going to? Could you wind up on the same boat? I'd prefer the Tombarra. No idea what it means, but I know it gets here two days quicker!

The same thread says it's 36 hours once your car passes QA to Southhampton.
I'm going to start doing some comparison insurance shopping now. I just finished a certification test this morning (CPDT: Certified Pet Dog Trainer) and it feels *so* good to be finished with it. Studying was getting in the way of my MINI obsession, or was it the other way ...

The Tracking Your MINI thread states that it is 8 days for production. ASK MINI told me that mine started production 9/24 and should be completed 9/30 so that is 6 or 7 days depending on how you count them.

At least you have something like CPDT to keep you occupied. I've just got work and MINI-tracking...

Hey, I don't know why, but when I noticed your MINI wasn't named, I blurted out Herbie in my head. They say your MINI just sort of names itself. Maybe yours just told me it's name.

Congratulations for all those starting production!
I called this morning and mine was in the body shop (doesn't sound good for a new car, lol) and would enter the paint shop later today or tomorrow. Looks like I may be a little behind the Oct 1st finish date then, but no matter because the boat doesn't leave until the 13th so they can take their sweet time and triple check everything : ).
Doesn't it feel great to get the VIN! I went with PenFed and in under 30 minutes became a member and the loan was approved (was instant online). Looks like I'll be staying with my same insurance carrier as no one could touch the quote (quite a substantial difference!), so now I just need my car!

Mine is in production too. Estimated completed date on OCT 1st. Had to call my DA to make some last time changes with the color. Glad to know that, DA can actually make changes at the last minute so that the change will be accomodated. I am going for Yellow with Black Sport Stripes.
Anybody has any Idea as to how long does it take to get it here? I am in the East Coast(New Jersey)??? Rough Estimation..?

You don't live too far from the port, so once it lands, you're probably only looking at a week tops. There's a boat coming in on the 13th (leaving on the 4th) and another one on the 17th (leaving on the 9th). You'll certainly be on one of those if your completion date is the 1st.

Excellent choice!

Does anybody have the VIN listed in OL? Yes I see all my options today(with 4Dr Sedan though), but I still dont have the VIN Listed in OL. Does ASKMINI give the VIN if I call them now? Considering its already in Production??
#243
the details finally showed up today also for me, and looks alot better than before as far as my requested items not showing up, etc. It did not show my rear pillar color choice, so I called asked mini just to see if they could tell, but they said they can't, all they can do is just tell you the current state of production, etc.....
Unfortunately, I also found out that I have been moved to week 41 production. Might be a good thing I guess also, maybe congress will decide something on the economy, else it sounds like nobody will be able to receive car loans!!! LOL!
Anyways, hope to catch up with ya'll on the other side, hopefully we'll be writing about great things and not complaining about nuances on this forum!
haven't even checked if there is a week 41 support group, but I hope they are as great as ya'll have been. talk to ya'll soon.

ASKMINI will provide your VIN if you ask. My VIN is not list in the OL yet but all my options are back and are correct... except for that 4 door sedan thing.
#246
Help! It took forever to configure my MINI and I promised myself that once the order was in I wouldn't change a thing. As week 40 approaches I'm starting to wonder... should I have ordered the Convenience Package? Should I add HiFi? Should I change my color to BRG? I'll be so relieved when the window to make changes has closed. Anyone else obsessing over options and colors?
Anyway, my 2 cents...
#247
Thinking about leaving the keys in it in a sketchy neighborhood...probably easier than selling it
#248
Sorry edjd, does your car come to the Port Huemene as well. If so, likely we'll be on the same boat as it's not schedule to depart until Oct 13th.
Mine entered the paint shop today, yahoooo! I hear that this week they're putting more metallic flake in all the metallic paints.
And once again the OL does not show my car's details...

my details have returned on ol but no vin. actually after my call yesterday to ASK i am beginning to think that maybe we have been moved to week 41! they said all the parts are lined up but won't be assembled until the beginning of next week! and i asked if that was week 40 and the csr said yes....hmmmm...me thinks he is mistaken?????
