Well the sales person just emailed me that my MINI entered into the production queue today. I asked for the production number, which he provided. Entered that into mygarage.miniusa.com, which returned a VIN. The options are all correct, and the picture reflects the resolute edition that i ordered. First bit of information since ordering originally February 28, and then changing order to resolute on May 4. At least now i know the car is officially in the system.

Ok so this week was the build week. Went really fast. It went from entering assembly line yesterday to dispatched from factory today - skipping "assembly in progress", "quality check", "final assembly", "ready for transport", and "awaiting carrier assignment". Status code is now 190 which apparently means awaiting transport. ProdDate bounced around from 2022-07-12 to 2022-07-15 which i see now means the final completion date.

I know I'm bumping an old thread, but posting this comment for anyone in the future frustrated with build times and their local Bay Area dealer. I found an abandoned SE that almost perfectly matched my order, except it was the Signature Plus trim rather than the Iconic trim. The only huge difference on the build sheet seemed to be the lack of the HUD and front sensors, still had everything else.

I'm now picking it up from Crevier Mini down in SoCal this weekend with zero markup on base price, just some dealer add-ons that amounted to a bit over $1k. I called Stevens Creek a week ago and they did confirm my order made it into the order bank, but with the summer shutdown I'm not sure when I would've gotten a production number.

Bay Area people might fare better by looking through inventory in SoCal. I monitored the nationwide inventory on miniusa.com until one of the abandoned SEs caught my eye.

I ordered my SE from Crevier and picked it up 3 weeks ago. They were excellent to deal with. Since I ordered, no dealer add-ons. That’s the reason I ordered from them since my local San Diego dealer was adding $1,500 in add-ons.
 
I stand corrected - thread title says zero information, but it should say NEXT to zero information. Waiting SOO very long is hard, and sometimes the delivery spreadsheet can be a curse if you expect your experience to match others exactly. Anyway, order to delivery will be 6 months exactly.

Sally is at the dealer and we're picking her up on Monday. Sales guy was kind enough to send a pic this morning.
