Great article in the Jan. '08 Roundel Magazine by woodyww

Great article in the Jan. '08 (BMWCCA) Roundel Magazine on the Clubman. 7 page very detailed article w/tons of info, pics, & roadtest impressions. 0-60 in 6.5 sec. for the S. And no diesel for the US, of course.
 
The rear doors are Too Cool for School IMO. The article predicts that the Clubman will have slightly better resale than the sedan Mini (which is already great)--another excuse to buy one.
 
Which color.....I love the dark silver, & the ruby red w/silver roof......if I had a Mini dealer w/in 5-10-15 miles I'd be in big trouble......

Placed an order for a Pure Silver Clubman two weeks ago and still don't have a delivery date. Initially was told that I could expect delivery the first week in June but now I am not sure. Anyone know anything about backlogs and delivery times?
 
Thanks

Yes, when I test drove the Mini Clubman S last weekend the Sales folks agreed that they too wish Clean diesel would come to the states. I'm less concerned about the high cost of gasoline than the Lack of old fashioned gasoline. I'm old enough to have experienced what it feels like when the line to the gas tank goes round the block and it's not just due to Hurricances.
I've already got my eye on a little gadget that fits in my garage in Key Largo that facillitates the manufacturing of my own biodiesel.
 
I adore the Clubman
....and will probably buy one as they hold their value and nothing will come to the usa i like as much in diesel for several years. I've already waited 4 years.
 
Guess my Subaru Outback is for sale now.

I put in an order today for a Clubman S and was told by the dealer that their May allotment has been filled, but they are trying to increase it. Likely my care will be in the June build with a 7 week wait once the process starts for real. At 57 years old I am once again like a kid waiting for Christmas.

We were basically told to expect our Clubman S, ordered on March 8th, to be delivered the first week in June. I definitely get the sense that demand is outstripping supply and I only hope that we catually do get delivery in June.

I was wondering of any of the folks that have ordered a mini clubman, did anyone get a price below MSRP or did you end up paying more because of the demand?
I have been looking at the ones the dealers have in stock in my area and they are mostly in the $28-30,000 price range (out of my league...) and it is hard to find any for 24-25,000.

Our order was placed at MSRP and there was no expectation of any deal. In fact having visited two dealerships in MA we ended up feeling fortunate that we were even able to get one with a reasonable delivery date (first two weeks in June). At both dealerships the only option was to order as their floor models were all spoken for according to them.

I live in Southern California and purchased my Clubman for $26,500 already equipped with the Premium and Convenience Packages, as well as the 16" run flat tires. When I was initially inquiring I was told by a car salesman to absolutely not pay over sticker. My price was just that and I could not have been happier. If you are in So.Cal I highly recommend Nick Alexander Imports in Los Angeles.
 
Good luck.

08 Clubman S mpg by tslbmw

I've done two fill ups so far. Bascially all around town driving. First tank, 278 miles, 10.2 gallons, 27.25 mpg. Second tank 195 miles, 6.5 gallons, 30 mpg. I'm extremely pleased so far. While on the highway for about 5 miles, cruising at 75 mph, the digital readout was saying 35-37 mpg....impressive. Kinda nice to have your cake (Turbo charged S engine) and eat it too (great mpgs).
