Default Question - build times or buy in Italy

Hello,

I live in Hawaii. I am active duty Army. Unfortunately my time in Hawaii is being drastically cut short due to promotion to Master Sergeant. I'm most likely being re-directed to Italy or Germany, which is great.

However, I want to have a smaller but fun car. Right now my wife and I both have Infiniti Q50S.

Due to the Soldier and Sailor Civil Relief Act I can turn in my Infiniti lease. I'm due to report to Italy or Germany in November. I might not be able to turn in the car until say September-October.

That gives me 1-2 months to find a replacement car. Can I build a 4 Door MCS in that time and have it delivered, or can I buy one in Vicenza, Italy? I can't seem to find a dealer there.

Another "problem" seems to be that the new 2016 obviously aren't out yet, not sure if I can even build a 2015 or if they stopped new builds, because the Mini site takes me directly to 2016 and won't let me build a 2015.

Suggestions? Hopefully this isn't too confusing? Am I best to just buy what a dealer has on the lot? I was really hoping for the heads up display which seems to be a 2016 thing.

I should also mention I want a 6-spd which appears to be unavailable in the S in Hawaii (probably because of the ridiculous traffic here)
