Depends on your dealer. I was lucky, my dealer had a few stock cars on order, and he was able to change the specs. on one of them. I ordered on April 28th, the MCS went into production on May 1st, and will be finished tomorrow (May 8th). Still will be at least 3 to 4 weeks for ocean transport, Vehicle Prep. Center, then transport to the dealer.

Most East Coast owners have experienced 6-8 week lead times.

I live in Indiana and mine is moving quicker than I thought. When it arrives (assuming it stays on track) it'll be about 6 weeks.

I live in NJ, 24 miles outside midtown Manhattan. I ordered mid Feb. and my MINI was delivered 6 weeks later.

It doesn't matter where you live.....imagine how much patience/sanity you can muster. Then add two weeks. That's how long it takes.

68 days to go for me...I ordered in late March. But that's west coast. It should about 40% shorter. You might even find a car with similar options as your configuration in the lot. Then you won't have to wait.

About 6 weeks but it feels like an eternity. Ordered from Manhattan mini. Car is on a ship right now due to land in NYC on May 15. Probably will take delivery the following week.

MCS: Sparkling Silver/Auto/Premium
