Seriously! I'm getting pretty tired of the "Parks Closed" message. Maybe they're finally updating it for all the '05 models. I've noticed some conflicting information on there when you try to build a car.

I was supposed to go in and spec. my '05 today, but the web site is one of the tools that my MA depends on. (His other option is to work with one of two individuals who place the actual orders. They were both off today.) So we had to postphone the spec. session. The hitches in their website are starting to impact their business.

I noticed it was down on Saturday. I don't know how much before that it went down, but now its late Monday and still down. Is anybody home??

I too have been checking. As a former S owner I am looking to get into an 05 Cooper. Really bugs me that I search the forums, and then want to try speccin something but can't. Hopefully it will be back up soon or else I will have to go and buy a different car !

I too see it is up as of 7:03am EST.

Is this a new option for 05? I looked under the MCS and there is for $200 a "Universal Garage Door Opener". I haven't checked under the MC yet.

When I placed my order on Thursday the MA asked if I wanted that option, so I guess you can get it now.

Still not working for me.

The universal garage door opener has been listed on the site for a few weeks, now.

hit your refresh button....sometimes your browser looks in your cache file for the website first. I just checked it, and it's working fine(ally)!

Cheers everyone!
