It takes about a week for all the parts and pieces that make up your car are gathered prepped and made ready for assembly. Once all this has happened the car is put together in one day. This is a great thread for understanding the process: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d-updated.html
i did read that thread probably way too many times
i understand it takes about 5 days to prep the car, 1 day to assemble, 1 day to paint, and 1 day for quality check in general.
are you saying that when they "schedule" a production date, it means that's the actual date they assemble?
i was just confused because after reading all these threads, nobody ever mentioned their car being built prior to their actual scheduled date.
definitely can't wait to see my new ride though

This might help. My production date was 4/8. Car went into "scheduled for production/In production" on 3/29. Car wasn't into actual production until 4/9 and completed on 4/12. You're car most likely won't go into production until your actual production date. They just put that fancy "schedule for production/in production" to make us feel better. Lmao.

probably better to expect it to be at a later date than to beat my head when it doesnt arrive on the time i expect it hahaha.

You're welcome. Don't forget to give ASK-MINI a call every now and then. I remember I called them once it was my production week, found out right away my car was in the body shop. Next day I called it was almost finished! Shouldn't take too long to build it! Good luck!

seems like my MINI experience is full of surprises and adventures hahaha
today, i called ASK-MINI and it gave me "your vehicle is in production with expected completion date of 4/28/12"
i come home from work to call that number again (just to double check and re-live the awesome moment) , now it says "your vehicle is scheduled for production with no confirmed completion date yet"
now that's a first, never heard anyone experienced that before, i beileive, in this 115 pages worth of thread.

Johnna, yup Sargent has been sitting at the docks way too long! I'll feel really good when he is confirmed onboard the ship... This is a great website for checking ship's status: http://shipfinder.co/
Here is another link to try. http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shi...tml?call=MPTP3
It should link you to the Topeka's route. When I checked, the Topeka had already left Bremerhaven and was approaching Southampton at an average of 11.8 knots. That seems soooooo sloooooow!
Try it out and see if it works for you.

I tried the link using my iPhone and it ported me to an app purchase.

Same happened to me. Got a finish prod 4/27 message, but now when I call and give my prod # it's no production date scheduled. When I give my VIN, it just tries to kick me to a live rep, but they only work mon-fri. Guess we will have to wait until then for clarification. Hope it's not anything related to the possible Oxford strike or resin shortage.

does anyone know whether it has occurred? i don't want to start harassing my MA just yet.

i really really hope it isn't the case but here's some info regarding the possible strike.

that's somewhat reassuring. i'm especially worried bc i had a production completion date yesterday on ASKMINI and today it's saying something different.. . i hope it's a glitch in the system..

he said he sees production started 4/19 but nothing else shows up on his screen when the expected completion date was.
i asked him if anything is going on that may cause this kind of behavior on ask-mini (shortage of materials etc) but he said none that he can think of...
hopefully nothing happens that may cause our product to get pushed back.
