Met with my MA this afternoon. As soon as the oil filter housing gasket arrives and is installed I can take delivery of my MINI. I don't have to wait until the 15th. Right now it looks like this coming Friday or Saturday. Likely Saturday so that I can join in with their MINI Celebration. All day long with free food and beverages. And linking up with other fellow MINI enthusiasts.
To be fair I think its quick the time it takes for you guys in the states to get your cars. I ordered my Cooper in the UK on the 3rd of March the same as the guy above and his car is beating my car that did not even go into production till the 21st.
Probably no preference being shown for us USAians. Don't know how they do it, but my MA was telling me about someone he sold to in February, weeks ahead of me, and mine is probably on the water and hers hasn't even been built yet.

How did you get the production breakdown information? All I get when I go to the owners lounge is "scheduled for production" and it's been that way for a week!

Update 4/11/14
Called up dealer this morning...
1) car is ready for pickup
2) i was NOT part of the recall list but he still had not received the parts to do the recall.
Mine went from "On Order" to "Schedule for Production" in 24 hours! Is the schedule for production timeframe similar for all? Or does it depend on the options chosen? This is a completely new and totally cool experience for me!

I was on order for 1 month then scheduled for production for 1 week and today still in production at the body shop. Suppose to be done tuesday. I'm not sure how it works but I think if your car is one of majority it's done quicker. Mine is a roadster and that's just 5 percent of total sales. I need to hit all the green lights to keep it going. So far I think I am doing that. I hope I beat 90 days.

the owners lounge is junk as far as I'm concerned...at least for getting a production status anyway.

CONGRATS! I've been estimating what time frame I'll be picking mine up, kinda worried I'll be out of town when its ready which will add up to a week to my pick up time.
