5A4 'LED headlights with cornering lights' - Ordering Problem
Turns out my dealer hasn't actually placed my order yet. I ordered the 7Y2 Chilli pack and also specified 5A4 'LED headlights with cornering lights'. Apparently this caused a conflict in the ordering system which they have not been able to resolve yet!
That's a couple of weeks wasted!

Their should not be a problem with that at all
I had it go through no problem - what exactly is the problem!
Apparently once the Chili pack is selected then the turning LED's both the website configurator and the dealers ordering system says it's not a valid combination and the Chilli pack has to be removed...
'Ordinary' non-turning LED's don't seem to be a problem.

7Y2 Chiili Pack you get 5A1 LED fog lights with that you can add cornering lights like I have 5A4
Tell them something is wrong with their system - that's how mine has gone through and I'm sure others who actually have their cars will say the same
I tried it on the configurator and there is (at the moment) a problem. I think it's because the 'standard' LED fog lamps included with the chilli pack are different to the ones included with 5A4 headlights (they have the cornering LED's in the fog light assemblies included with 5A4) and for some reason that causes a conflict.
They could delete the Chilli Pack and add the components individually I guess...

I remember that on the configurator... I think you have to have selected LED foglights first... hang on...
Yes... add the Chili pack then add the LED with cornering lights. It wants to remove the chili pack, but go to manual edit and add LED fog lights instead. I just tried it on the UK configurator...
Hard to believe the dealer couldn't work that out in two weeks!

Education, Education, Education!
If I learnt this myself by choosing the LED lights and then finding I had to manually edit my selection in the configurator, then the dealer needs to do likewise.
It would be my opinion that the dealer may be a bit of a F'tard in this respect.
When they are that dim, they do not even deserve my acknowledgement.

Lording it over all Dealers......

Order placed at last!
Dealer finally sorted the LED headlamp / fog lamp conflict. Guess it's going to be October / November delivery now. :|
Added anthracite headlining to spec.
New X5 delivered tomorrow (I hope) so that'll take my mind off the wait for the MCS.

Just heard today that our MCS is at build status 5055 "confirmed for production' with an expected delivery date of wk33 (w/c 11th August) This was totally unexpected as we where recently told by the dealer that it might be in October!
Well chuffed

Build progress
Noticed that the Oxford factory are upto VIN T958896 at 09:30 this morning so just over a hundred to go until ours is built - getting excited!
On a negative note we found out yesterday that out dozy dealer has ordered it with the wrong wheels and interior!

Too late - order is locked down for build...
We really wanted "2F2 17" Cosmos Spoke alloy wheels in black" though have ended up with the standard 17" 'Tentacle' rims in silver - the dealer has offered to get the rims painted gloss black FOC.
The interior is "FYE1 Cloth/leather Diamond Carbon Black/Carbon Black" instead of what we wanted "DE1 Cloth/leatherette Black Pearl Carbon Black/Carbon Black"
Dealer says we can wait a couple of weeks and see if we like it or re-order with delivery in November. We're trying to negotiate a 'financial sweetener' though I'm not sure if i should just tell them to keep it...
mine is being built today T947254......Noticed that the Oxford factory are upto VIN T958896 at 09:30 this morning so just over a hundred to go until ours is built - getting excited!

How do you know when your mini's are being built? Is there a website somewhere I can look at?
Yes look here:
http://www.bmwarchive.org/vin/bmw-vin-decoder.html
Type in the last 7 digits of your VIN and complete the captcha thing...
If you get the error No data related to T95XXXXX was found!
Then your car is not built yet, knock a few numbers off and you will eventually find the last VIN being made at that time...bit of trial and error!
The website is linked to your build sheet and will show the EXACT build config of your car.
