Hey All!
About a week ago, I ordered a 2013 MCS Chili Red! My MA still has not sent me the production number. He told me that builds do not begin until the first week in July... Maybe that was the next available co-hort for the Princeton Mini... I do know. I am super excited! And so anxious. My Mini will come with the cold weather package, sports package with black rims; black stripes; black housing lights ;white turn signals; xenon lights; and traction control. I want black fog lamps but was told by my dealer that the 2013's might not offer them anymore so if necessary I will settle for chrome.
The one thing I was uncertain about was having my color line be red. Right now my dash is silver and the color line is black, but I am wondering if I should go red. Does anyone have any thoughts. My only concern is that the red will make the car look cheap; however, I love the color red.

I have a royal grey Countryman on its way, with black gravity interior, anthracite headliner, and went with the red color line, just so the whole inside wasn't black.
I think it would like awesome with your red exterior.

Thanks for the info on when you've ordered. I was thinking it might take a week or more to get mine from "order has been received" to "scheduled for production". But, I ordered on 6/28 and the owners' lounge has updated the status this morning. My BSE is scheduled for production. Doesn't say when, but at least the order is showing my car in metallic rooftop gray, now.

I like the way you think...your build is pretty close to what I started with. Chili red/black w/black stripes and black rims. I only changed when I decided that I really wanted the aero kit and it was more cost effective for me to do it with the JCW package (plus I love the red stitching on the steering wheel/shift boot).
As for the red color line, I based my interior on a JCW that they had on the lot that had the RR color line and Carbon Black/Red seats. It's not real "classy", but if I wanted classy I wouldn't have ordered it in Chili Red with black stripes and an aero kit!

Right now their automated system is giving me a date of 7/6. Some people have posted that live operators can give you more detailed info (paint shop, assembly, etc) but the person that I spoke to didn't know anything beyond it being in the production stage (and didn't have the 7/6 date).

I wonder when is the cutoff date between 2012 and 2013 MCS.
I placed my order on 6/13. It went into production on 6/20 and finished on 6/27. Mine is a 2012 according to the VIN decoding.
Did your MA tell you that your order will be a 2013? My MA did not tell me, but I assumed that it will be a 2012.

Oh, I'm so jealous....was so hoping for the 7/4 birthday. It looks like they are doing some models earlier than others since I ordered from the same dealer before you did.
