Does anyone know if assembly line product has started on the 2013 as of yet? And where the car will be built?
Welcome aboard. Check with the MINI USA Lounge. Enter you VIN and it will tell you about your car. Jim
Congratulations! If I didn't love my car so much I would be envious. As far as I know, all but the Countryman are built in Oxford, UK. Sometimes your VIN intially pulls up a car that doesn't fit the description of your car. This is because the VIN is assigned to a dealer and the info takes a few days to be changed to the specific car that you ordered. If you pull up a car that's not yours, contact your dealer, but don't be overly concerned. Not sure if I explained that correctly, but I know that some people have flipped when they see the strange car that their VIN pulls up but it's only because the system hasn't been updated.
Thanks for the Feedback Thank you for the information, hope to get the VIN number this week from the dealer.

Changes I am not aware of any changes besides the packages adding and removing items. If they worked a few of the initial issues then I will be happy with that. I was going to get a 2012 but my dealer said wait 3 weeks and you will get a 2013. I said heck yeah since this Will not be an everyday car according to my wife. After all the oodness i have read here well maybe it will be
