If this is true, there is going to be a delay of at least a few weeks...

not tragic by any means!

According to sources MINI will be launching the F56 in Europe, the UK and the US in March and April respectively. Extrapolating a bit, we’d expect that’s mid/late March for the UK, early April for Europe and mid to late April for the US.

they do make the good point of mentioning that BMW/MINI have a habit of offering additional options several weeks after launch...

April really doesn't sound like the worst to me for a US release. What were you expecting?

And what additional options do you think we will get? Are you just referring to more engine options?

Patience is a virtue, as they say.

It's only a disaster if you have a build slot and have booked a day off work in order to collect your new baby... Like I have! Waiting another few weeks will be torture!

No delay?

I checked with my dealer, they are not aware of any delays and my Mini is still due in week 12! Here's hoping!

I find that BMW/Mini is good with having the least amount of delays or even none at all with it's vehicles, keep us posted

Fingers crossed. My car is due in week 15 with delivery planned for the 16th of April!
