Ordered a Mini hardtop from the dealer on May 27th and I still don't have a production number. The MA says he's submitted the order to MINI but they haven't yet accepted it and returned the production number.
Based on this thread it sounds like I'm being fed some BS. Thoughts?
Is there any other way to get the production number other than through my MA?
btw...the MINI was pretty uniquely packaged, so it'd be extremely doubtful they'll find my configuration elsewhere in the country.
EDIT: Got the production number!
Checked it out on the owners lounge and it's already configured properly in the system, so now I can sit back and be even more impatient, lol.

Sounds like he didn't have any slots for you and so you go to the back of the line.

Thanks all.

I would still get a copy of your order to verify options and order type. I can dig mine up if you want to know what it looks like.

And mine is now showing on the website as "waiting on transportation." I just hope it doesn't sit there 2-3 weeks! I saw some posts back in March/April of people having their Mini just sit for a while before getting on a boat.
#7266
Agreed. Definitely get your order to confirm it is what you want. Then check it against what the site shows for your details. It took 2 weeks before all of my options were showing in the system. It won't show options that aren't done at the factory, like driving lights or the JCW instrument cluster.

In my case, I figured it was because I was going with a special order colour and lighting option and they needed to verify it could be built that way. But never did find out if that was the reason for the delay.

I woke up at 5:30am on Wednesday, and remembered that my ship would be coming through the canal that day. So I pulled up the webcam, and lo and behold, it was just pulling into the first lock.
I checked in on its progress regularly throughout the day. It took 13 hours to go from one end to the other, with quite a bit of downtime in the middle. It was fun to watch it come through, but I could. Not. Concentrate. On anything else.

Order Date June 3, 2013
Hello Everybody! My husband and I just ordered a 2013 JCW Coupe on June 3. On the Where's my baby at? it says it is scheduled for production and the dealer contacted us yesterday and said that it went into production on June 4. Is that pretty fast? They said delivery would take 6-8 weeks, so we were surprised that it is already in production How long does the production process normally take? When should we start to see updates like paint shop, ect? Also could someone point me toward a link where I can find out how to do all the tracking in transit after it is complete and such??
Sorry about all the questions! Just excited and wondering how to keep myself busy until the JCW arrives!!!

Ask Mini just told me my vehicles is "being transported to the port of exit" so it has left the Austria facility. Should be at the port soon. Only a 9hr drive and I'd assume those trucks make it in 1-2 days, depending on regulations on how long they can drive. In the US it is 11hrs. In France I think it is 30min. Not sure about Austria and Germany.
