With all that is happening in the world Ukraine chips and production shutdowns I officially placed my order couple weeks ago how long does it take to get a production Number
It took me about 40 days from order placement at the dealership after making my reservation to get (1) production number, (2) VIN, and (3) an actual build date from my dealer.
I’m in the UK and ordered mine at the start of October and was told not to expect even a build number until January as they weren’t taking any more orders. Fortunately for me things moved much faster than expected and I got my car a few days before Christmas.
It took me about 5 weeks to get my production number from Passport Mini of Alexandria, Virginia, on my base-model 2023 Signature SE in BRG with leatherette interior. online deposit: 3/6/22 in-person order confirmation @ dealer: 3/7/2022 production #, VIN, and production notification from dealer: 4/14/2022 build/production date (according to the html backend on my mini garage): 5/5/2022 My motoring adviser at the dealer expects my order to arrive sometime in June. They have provided excellent communication throughout the process.
Just got my vin but where can I find the build date, tried mini garage no date found Thanks for your time.
@methorian gave wonderful instructions on how to find the build date here: https://www.insideevsforum.com/community/index.php?threads/delivery-spreadsheet-lets-track-these-inbound-ses.9257/page-108#post-166333
