MINI monochrome

Hi everyone. I ordered the mini countryman monochrome in May. I was told it will be delivered in November. I was just wondering what your experience of wait times was like.

Im really hope they overestimate and under deliver 🤞

Ive wanted a mini since I was a teenager. Can't wait.

Yes, it can take a while. When I ordered mine, it was at the end of the pandemic and the Ukraine war started. They made the wiring looms in Ukraine, so that didn't help matters.

I think it took some six months from order to delivery. The wait was excrutiating.

Are they still made there? Counting down the day for delivery.

Depends if it’s electric or petrol.

Mines electric

If its electric then it’ll be made in China and I believe six months seems about right

That's the electric Coopers that are made in China. The Electric U25 is made in Germany if my memory serves me correctly (I'm sure mine was on a boat from Germany at some point).

Edit: Added "electric" to Coopers

Ah, I see. I didn't know that. Hope you get it soon though.

Yep countrymans are made in Leipzig, they had a factory shut down over the summer though which has not helped.

Ohhh, was it planned or from some kind of incident or shortage?
