The Long and Winding Road

Hello everyone.
Ordered my first 2014 MCS F56 a week ago and I can already tell the wait is going to be excruciating!
I know there are some production delays on HK sound and contrasting roofs.

I have not been this excited about a car in quite some time.
this forum is already a wealth of information which I am already learning so much.
So thanks in advance for your knowledge and I look forward to sharing my experience.

AJ

Thanks so much.
Worst thing my MA could've done was give me a production no#.
Its only been about 10 days and I am at the "Vehicle is scheduled for production, with no known production date"...

Hi and thanks...
When you call ASKMINI..do you actually speak to a live person? I,ll assume its too early for me to get a production date.
My MA said most likely looking at 10 weeks..Hopefully early in July..
Yes....I'm reading constantly on here!

Thanks again
Andreanna

You have the option of talking to a real person. I recommend it as the automated system can lag far behind at times.

When you call the mini hotline you get an automated update or you can talk to a live person. The 2 times i called they were clueless.From what i understand they are nothing more than an answering service with only info that mini supplys(or wants us to know)!!

Hmmm....Understood.
So I guess I should give it a few weeks.
My MA did tell me that she gave me a spot in their "dealer" order. I don't know if that will speed things up.

Yes,
Black roof, pretty much fully loaded. I did not get the camera. I had it in my Infiniti and I never really cared for it. I trust my eyes more than the camera!!

What did you order on yours?
