I added a column to the spreadsheet to calculate total weeks from 'dealer ordered' to 'at dealer' for the lucky Mini owners in the bottom section. Apologies - I am not familiar with Google docs - I tried to fill the cells with the same colors, but it won't take my selection on colors. Overall average at the moment = 16.8 weeks.

Noice.
If someone's really good at Excel, they could probably do some sort of if/then formula to deduct three weeks from people whose builds spanned the first three weeks in August, as the plant summer break kind of threw the averages off. Alas, that someone is not me.

Also, they should just throw out Insigtman's freakishly long outlier build, on principle.

I fixed it for you, color-wise. :)

Good suggestion. My martyr-hood was rewarded and I'm a happy owner. No need to discourage potential customers, so I deleted my entry in the table.

3rd. I think we can rename the columns to be non-US specific (e.g. Port of Destination rather than US Port date) because there is a destination port field. I think it would be valuable for future orderers to see what others have experienced.
 
I've now inputted my details.

Note that under "Trim" I've placed an asterisk next to "Iconic/Level 3" as the Australian market wasn't given the option to select trim levels with our preselected trim being the same as the Iconic (US) and Level 3 (UK) except for the fact that there is no sunroof. Colour selections were also limited and we were basically given four options from which to choose: 2 "Future" options ie. Midnight Black Metallic or White Silver Metallic, both with energetic yellow mirrors, black rooves and power spoke wheels. There were also two "Classic" options ie. British Racing Green or Chili Red, both with Aspen White roof and mirrors plus tentacle spoke wheels. As my avatar suggests, I'm going with British Racing Green.

Good call (on the spreadsheet change, not on the odd restrictions they place on you for options)

Sadly the result of living in a small, distant market. While I would have enjoyed the process of exercising greater control over the colour selection, trim level, wheel design, etc. I can imagine myself agonising over these choices for days and then, having selected my desired build, having second thoughts later on. As it stands, I have no doubt that the British Racing Green was the best choice for me considering the limited options.

There are, however, a couple of things that I regret them not offering:

1) I'm really surprised by the fact that we received everything in the Iconic/Level 3 trim but no sunroof. Seriously? Even in the south of Australia where I am we get plenty of warmth and sunshine. In the north it's hot and sunny nearly all the time. I can't understand why they didn't give us this.
2) Considering the notes on climate above, lighter-coloured leather seats would have been preferable to the black, and probably a better match for the white roof.
 
I placed my order on 9/24, and received my production number today. According to mini garage it has entered the production queue. Much sooner than anticipated; I was still debating over wheel choice and earlier this week was told I had time, but then—surprise!

Have you entered your info on the tracking spreadsheet? We love seeing the data.

No sunroof in Australia?? My sympathies. I loved the dual sunroof in my old 2012 Cooper S. It was the best sunroof of any car I've had. I'm also looking forward to cloth seats again. Black leather was tough on hot sunny days. ;)
