2006 Model Year Timeline #2

Any idea about when these changes might be available to build (and therefore order at the dealer) on Mini’s website?

Where is the “official” information available from?

But you say “Early July > Official information is released” in your post above indicating it’s now out?

When do dealers usually start allowing customers to put their names in a queue for new model year cars? I know I put my name in for my 2005 in late July ’04, but I was wondering if there was a more general date, for example when they put the car into their ordering database. Being that there are questions about when the ’06 models will start being built, I thought I’d ask when we could start putting down a down payment and get our names on the list.

Not to bash anyone, but I love the fact that Gabe tells us all that basically he has no reliable information about when new stuff is happening and THE FIRST QUESTION is: ‘Wait… do you know when this stuff is coming online?’ So basically my point is READ people…READ

cheers

The day someone buys you a beer for something on your web site, is the day you know you have a very successful web site! :)

it’s great that a new mini is coming… im about to get a 2005 model, but Im starting to consider the 2006… But the only thing that makes me get the current model, is that I had very bad experiences with “Introduction Cars”, for example; new model, new mechanical parts, new electrical partes, etc.. We all know that new cars comes with “bugs” the first year of production… And since that Im planning to get the MCS Automatic, here on Mexico is expensive… so getting a car expensive that I gonna start getting problems with, its to get a real thought…

I’m open to hear opinions in what desicion should I take…

ohh ok.. but I was talking about the new model the 2007… i got messed up with the dates… sorry…

Jono is the word troll familiar to you at all?

I love this story. It shows how reliable sources, reliable as they may have been in the past or perhaps in the future, sometimes just get it wrong. I loved how you seasoned the crow you had to eat and well, you just semed very human. I hoped the beer helped things go down just a little easier.

Hey! Newbie here- long time reader, first time poster (love this site!). I planned on ordering my first MCSC the weekend of August 26 here in atlanta (global imports mini).

With the timeline as it is, does this mean i’ll make the cut-off for the ’05 production or must I be forced to receive an ’06 model sometime in january?(!) I didn’t want anything that was only pertaining to the ’06 models…Anyone have any suggestions/advice on my timing and what to expect? Thanks in advance!

I tried ordering an 05 MCSc on Aug. 16, but my dealer said they had already filled all their “slots” for 05, and could only order 06 from now on. Expected arrival date is mid October. Anyone else have this problem?
