Chili Red MCS
Order Date: 8/19/11
Production Started: 8/30/11
Expected Production Completion Date: 9/07/11
That's all I know at this point. I just read another post from someone who ordered a Coupe and he was told by his MA on 9/02 that there would be a delay for the Mini Connected + NAV due to the Japan earthquake. I didn't hear anything about that and I ordered it also. If anyone else has any delays, please let us obsessed people know.

The earthquake situation was cleared up months ago. Remember that orders are filled on two criteria. 1. how many slots your dealer has available for that month and 2. the color. An example that I have stated previously that I ordered an uncommon color and that there were other people awaiting the same color who ordered b4 mine. They had to wait for enough orders for that color so they can begin production. I hope this explanation helps.
My order was placed on July 18th completion date Aug 19th Shipped Aug 31st. Est Delivery end of Sept.
Be patient.

All I know is what mine was scheduled at one point to start today. Friday I was told it was moved to Sep 19th. A month after I ordered it before it starts. It is a BRG Convert with a mini connect.
Not sure why I got a two week push back. I assume it is because BMW hates me... Or I have ticked off the gods. Not sure.

I am so ready to order my JCW hardtop! I am still being told that I have to wait until October to put the order in since that is when they will have open production slots for the JCW hardtop. Waiting for your production to be completed is bad enough, I just want to put my order in. Patience is not one of my strong suits.

I just saw three of y'all (at least) have recently ordered from MINI of Sterling, VA. I am wanting to order in the next week or so, and have asked them (among other dealers) for a quote. Did anyone get any discounts when ordering?
Feel free to PM me to not hijack this thread (I am slightly off topic, but will soon be waiting for a '12 as well-I hope).
Thanks.
Duane.

Chili Red MCS for Production Week 38
Hi! I've been lurking here for a while trying to learn as much as possible about R56 MINIs. Finally took the plunge last week and ordered 2012 MCS. Car is ostensibly for my wife, but I'm hoping to get to drive it once in a while! Being in Arizona we will have a long wait for delivery even after waiting for week 38 production. We are "expecting" mid November.
Since we have a little time left to tweak final spec I am seriously thinking about adding DTC option. No plans for Autox, but we are a "spirited driving" family so might benefit. Any advice? Dave
