I know we're in the minority, but my gut tells me there will be more in my small boat when the new F56 JCW Manual Transmission cars are "finally" being produced and shipped!!!
So, some of us may be in the que early, and that just means we have a longer wait....but a wait that is going to be worth it in a BIG way!
My dealer tells me my order has been submitted to MINI, so it's at least in their database....so, the wait formally begins! I am told that it will be about 2 months before my order will be assigned a "Production Date & VIN".
So, with this time period in mind, and assuming at least an 8 to 10 week wait until shipping, delivery may be circa August 15 to 31! I can see my estimate being off by at least one month...so September 30 may be more realistic, but who knows?...maybe MINI will see the error in their ways by focusing on the JCW automatic trans exclusively first, and kick production of the JCW Getrag 6-speed manual trans up a notch!
Anyway, post your updates here and we can all have a place to go for updates. That goes for everyone, whether owners or not, so we can monitor the process of the JCW manual!
Come on in my little boat...there's plenty of room!
Cheers,
John
