I put my order in on Saturday September 24, 2005. My MINI is scheduled for production week 45. Should be built the first week of November 2005. I woulld say that you should get in as soon as possible, Especially if you want a 2006 MCS the last of the first generations.
The only 2006's that will sell in 2007 are used or left over 2006's. With MINI's I honestly doubt that there will be any 2006's left over by this time next year.
I would think you'd have until May 2006 or so. The 2007 model year changeover may shut things off earlier in 2006 than the 2005->2006 changeover, but you could still get a 2005 ordering in July of 2005.
