If you think it's bad now, just wait... people will think you're certifiable in a few weeks. I ordered mine the 2nd week of Feb and I was fine... watched the how-to videos. Then I got my production number, set up my Mini Owner's account and I went back through all the videos. THEN I got my VIN... started reading the owner's manual and downloaded my Mini Connected app for a car that doesnt yet exist. As of Wednesday, my status was "Scheduled for production" and I watched all the factory tour videos (the National Geographic show is very good) and all the history of Mini shows. I'm out of YouTube video now, randomly re-watching one or two, limit myself to only checking the "Where's My Baby" link once a day, and hanging around here.
It freaks me out a little bit, because I've never been this bad about a car before, but then again, I've never gotten to order a car configured exactly the way I want. The nice thing about it, though, is that I've been able to determine conclusively that this is completely normal behavior for Mini people, so enjoy it! The best advice I've seen (in a similar thread on this site) is not to start second guessing your order, don't get all wrapped up in reading about the problems a few folks are having and get scared, and enjoy the whole experience!
