R58 MINI Coupe Roll Call
#902
Great to hear that James! Not a long wait at all.
My MA advised even though there were only a couple options being installed at the VDC that this normally slows down the delivery in his experience between 3-5 days. They will be installing the CF JCW dash and Strut bar on ours. We are still slated for a 10/30 arrival at the dealership and still expecting a four day turn around once here as they have a boat load of work to do on our car.

Talked to my MA yesterday and he said that my Coupe had been released to the carrier and is simply waiting at the VDC for the carrier to bring it over to the dealership. He said that it has an ETA of 10/26 (which is one day earlier than the OL claims for the ETA).
It seems very strange to me that it takes 6 to 7 days to move a car 60 miles from the VDC to the dealership??? Ah well, at least I have an idea of when to expect it now.
I guess that my Coupe just likes hanging around at ports is all... It spent nearly two weeks waiting at the port in Southampton and nearly another full week waiting at Port Hueneme. Crazy!

Interesting news. I had to take my car in because a light turned on when I started driving. They just looked at the engine and did a full diagnostic and it looks like they will be ordering me a new engine from Mini. So I am down for the count with the silver surfer for a while.
They say that the engine is leaking oil into the cylinders, any one else hear about this?

How many miles before the light came on?

gloomchen, I think the JCW has a slightly older engine version than other Coupes.

Good to see all you guys with your Coupe deliveries almost complete. I was kind of feeling like a loaner. Be carful, I have at several times found the need to question if MINI installed a black hole in my wheels. People start looking when you are passing or they are passing you (RARELY) and can't help but veer into your lane because they have forgot to look forward as they are HYPNOTIZED by the Coupe.
They kind of have this look on there face.

The things I found were that the JCW side rocker sills were missing clips just behind the front wheel arch so there was a gap and they were loose. Also found the middle brake light cover cracked and the center interior roof mounted toggle cluster is loose on the driver side edge. Those I found after the dealer found the pass thru door latch stuck, and then broke. Anyone else have any such quality issues?

Next to none. 15 miles?
Got home, and had to work with my other vehicle the next day. Turned her on and there was the light. She has about 21 miles now so it was an early issue. Dealer says they doubt the other engines will have it since the JCW engines are "hand built" by one engineer.
An engineer is flying in to LA this week to diagnose if they want to get a new engine crated over here as a replacement or just fix the current engine. They did not say where the leak was coming from and told me they do not want to crack the engine open until the special engineer is there. I got a long term loaner until everything is settled. So I am currently in a 2012 MCS Black on Black hah.
Congrats on everyone getting closer to delivery. I have yet to see a coupe on the road in LA, so hopefully we all get out driving soon.
