I thought the JCW was still using the N14 engines? The tune they have is for the N18, unless they just don’t have the N14 tune on their website.

I feel the interior would be nice if it didn’t have that awful flava-flav speedometer right in the middle of the dash. It’s one of the few reasons that I can’t stand the Mini. They look like a blast to drive, and are good on gas to boot!

Wheels are the light weight wheels like the “mini challenge” race cars, 200 lbs lighter than a stock mini 2. 6 piston Brembo front calipers, Adjustable coil over suspension, Special “GP” traction control mode, GP only color, 1 of 500 in the states, special interior upholstery, no rear seat, strut braces front and rear, extra torque with over boost. And basically no options at all. Its cool the car comes with wrenches to adjust the coil overs lol.

28 city 35 highway is the rating. I plan on mounting an iPad over it lol.
