Well, my dealer tells me that the invoice for order no longer includes the 4UL Flat Load Floor option. MINI deleted it from my order which then allowed the car to enter production.
Not really happy that my order was delayed for 3 weeks only to have MINI ultimately delete the option from order anyway. Plus, I am going to lease this vehicle which means I cannot residualize this option and will have to pay 100% out of my pocket.

After checking out the car today in person, I don't think I even want the Flat Load Floor option anyway. I'll mount the standard floor vertically against the rear seat backs to create a bulkhead and leave the boot well exposed. Should be just fine.

That is the standard floor. The flat load floor would cover the well when you have the standard floor snapped into the up position. I will probably get it as I like to keep tools and other stuff I do not need regular access to separate from other things that get loaded in and out of the car

I guess that means ours was not available either. Funny that MINI never contacted the dealer to inform us that it wasn't available, but Midnight found out about his a few weeks ago.

I was actually alerted by a forum member who is also an MA at another dealership. She informed me after receiving a bulletin from MINI. When I checked with my MA he hadn't heard anything about but checked the system and saw that the option had indeed been dropped from my order. Later stated that they received the bulletin after I contacted them.

If you just ordered your car in December, the dealer would not have offered it since supplies were depleted. You will be able to order one from the parts dept sometime next year, time to be determined later.

Interesting. Today the "Factory Ordered Options" in the Owners Lounge updated to remove the Flat Load Floor option. Earlier this week my MA was saying that it made it on the car since it was produced before the part shortage.
I'm half wondering if there wasn't a quality issue and they are actually removing them from cars that got them at the VDC.
Has anyone received a car with the Flat Load Floor?

My understanding is that the "flat load floor" option provided the option to do both at the same time.

The description has always been a little strange. It seems that it has generally been agreed that standard comes with a single divider that can either cover the well in the bottom OR serve as a divider between the boot and passenger area but not both.
My understanding is that the "flat load floor" option provided the option to do both at the same time.

This is clearly the most confusing option (er I mean future accessory) based on the number of questions it has generated.
