New Midnight black MCS

Hello,

Just ordered my Mini on Friday. I have been a Mini fan since 2002, so very happy to have been able to order it finally!

MCS, Midnight black, manual transmission, Xenon headlamps, comfort access, piano black interior, bluetooh/ipod USB adapter, leather sport multifunction, checkered black on black seats.

NAM has been a great resource for my decision! Thanks to everyone for taking the time to post stories (both good and bad), guides, suggestions, etc. It has made the process a lot easier for me!

I'm trying to convincing myself that I haven't actually ordered one to make the process less painful (I'm a wee bit OCD ). The dealer said 4-6 weeks with no guarantees of course.

Congratulations and welcome!! I hope your timeline comes through. Mine took three months and a day from order to delivery. But I was thrilled when I finally picked it up.

WOW! I hope it doesn't take that long. What took the longest?

Congrats!!! I was in your shoes back in April and was lucky in that my MINI was at the dealer about 5 weeks from date of order. Picked it up in June and I will have to say in 3 months of driving the fun has not decreased a bit. These cars making mundane trips to the barber fun!! The Owner's Lounge is a fun way to track your MINI and has a lot of info on it - you can even scan/read your owner's manual before you even get the car.

Happy (Future) Motoring

Thanks! Production on mine is already done. Its waiting to be shipped in about 10 days! Probably mid-October is what I'm expecting to be ready to pick up.

Haha- well they almost only have 4 weeks to meet that deadline. I just was able to login to the owner's lounge for the first time and apparently I'm getting a Hot Chocolate colored Mini Cooper S! I know they aren't 100% accurate for the first week or so, and I was thinking that it'd be cool to have a hot chocolate non-clubman anyways . My status is listed as "on order."
