Q: I ordered mini cooper '09 model last wednesday, which is august 27th. I know it varies between each cases, but how long it took for your mini cooper? Dealer said it will take 8 to 10 weeks but is there anyone took longer or shorter than 8 to 10 weeks?
A: I ordered mine on June 02 and it was here on July 16th, so roughly 6 weeks. 8-10 weeks is probably about right considering that demand is much higher on these cars and supply is limited. The ride across the Atlantic is much longer than build time. When I took delivery of my car it only had 3-4 miles on it! It had only 802 miles on it. 1200 miles is required for break in. You cannot rev it up past 4000 rpms or go past 100 miles an hour. I am anxious to take mine on a long trip. I have achieved 33.2 mpg combined driving and that is on the second tank. I have only filled it up twice since owning it. I have the 6 speed automatic. Once the car breaks in, fuel economy will improve. One thing I like is that you are not required to run premium, although it is preferred. I am not sure if that is true for the S, but at least for the regular one. I hope you get your car sooner than expected and enjoy it. I think you made a wise purchase.
