Delivery
My MA from Dreyer/Reinbold just called and my new Countryman is on a truck and headed to Indianapolis today. I guess off loading from the Tugela went very quickly and it is already on its way west. I was told that my auto is the 1st 2012 CM to arrive at the dealers for this model year. Possible that I'll have it by the end of the week . . . .

Hi all. I ordered my 2012 MCS Countryman All4 on Aug 23. Current status is ON ORDER. Went to dealer today to sit in one (and give my MA some info). He tells me they're getting a shipment of some in this thursday so I can take one for a test drive. Hey...gotta satisfy the craving somehow. I hate this waiting b

OK... so if anybody out there, who already has a clubman, is really bored and feels the need to be altruistic... Can you get a rough measurement of the painted area on the clubman for me? I'm interested in the roof, the bottom part of the back doors, the sides, and the hood. I'm trying to figure out some decals that want to put on my mini when it arrives.
Thanks,
Rachael

I might be needing the support group now too. Just ordered (09/12/2011) Justa hardtop spice orange/black roof. Dealer says 5 weeks, because they changed an exisiting order at the last minute. Having a good experience from the new dealer in Rockville, MD--MINI of Montgomery County. Have learned a lot already from everyone on this forum.

Darn it! I have had mine on order for almost a month, and they are not even going to start production until Sep 26th ish (Week 39). You ordered yours like 2 days before I did.

Here is the Port Hueneme schedule, updated on September 8th.

Maybe they can airmail the box.
It is most likely your Tech Pkg or the fact that my dealer called 27 other dealers to get a good slot for production. But if it helps, from what I saw on another thread, you got a better $ deal than I did.

Hehe to both of you... I am glad I got a deal...
So I called my MA this morning, and she just sent me a message. I hope she is right. The system says I am scheduled for Week 39...
She sent me a message that says according to the inside MINI site (along with a cut and paste), the car entered "150 - Production Started 9/14/11 06:48:13"
The OL still says ON ORDER.
How common for it to start production early? She told us the day we ordered it that the Cabrios go into production early, because there is just less of them being sold.
Thoughts? Sound right?

It is nice to see all these 2012 vehicles in production and several en route. Those of you who will be getting yours delivered soon must be so excited. I can't wait for the day that I will be in your shoes.
Hope we see some deliveries soon. Post some pics so the rest of us can live vicariously!
