Just spotted this on Motoringfile, not official but sounds good....

CC07ERS · Feb 27th, 2007, 12:34 PM

sounds good it means the euc will be remapable, bluefin will do somthing then

JJW · Feb 27th, 2007, 12:34 PM

It sounds great! It seems a shame though to be going down the same route again having add ons to the 'S'.

The rumours for ages were for an M style exclusive JCW MINI, non of the MINI COOPER S JCW as well as a JCW MINI. It seems MINI have bottled it tried to satisfy a larger section of the market instead of producing a proper car.

Assume they have two pieces of Kit:

MINI COOPER S JCW 200

MINI COOPER S JCW 2**

Good idea to open it to the older s owners. Though i think they should lower the price a little compared to the existing kit (£3500)

kevkbuk · Feb 27th, 2007, 12:52 PM

Why was this post moved??? It is discussing engine mods to the R56 Cooper S.... and I originally posted it in the R56 engine tuning section ?!?

JJW · Feb 27th, 2007, 01:03 PM

I suppose either way they will both be one hell of a car.

Wonder what the price difference will be between the 200 and 2** and envy put it?

I guess I'm the wrong person to ask about the movement, but at a guess, maybe they mods on MINI2 see the JCW as a future model in itself, rather than just a tuned MCS? Just a guess though.

Gabe, are you the same Gabe as on Motoring file who produces these wonderful pieces of info??

Tone · Feb 27th, 2007, 05:55 PM

Because until it's available for build, it's a future variant

It's great that people can share all this info when MINI don't want to give it directly.

Do you have any idea when MINI will officially announce spec and cost etc? My MINI is one year old tomorrow and I would enjoy planning my next MINI (which I'm hoping will be the new JCW), even if it is 12 months or so.

Gabe, as an aside, can I have a job please?!!

CC07ERS · Feb 28th, 2007, 09:21 AM

I contacted the dealer today they say Mini say nothing yet for BMW

Bits of it does, I've said all along expect a JCW sound kit again, and a specific JCW car.

I'd agree with some of that on MF, but I think some of it is being mis-interupted by the readers of the article but also the way its written, with some little details still not confirmed yet so how they can be known for sure

Confirmed

Washy · Feb 28th, 2007, 08:02 PM

Interesting...not quite what I had hoped for though....

Aberdeen Al · Feb 28th, 2007, 09:00 PM

I popped into our local Mini dealer this afternoon as I was trying to kill some time whilst my front tyres were being replaced and he said.....

"...the Mini Traveller will be available early next year..."

and

"...the JCW will be in 2 stages a 200 / 220 bhp option..."

and

"...there will be a 4 x 4 variant with a possible 250 bhp (for starters) and a wide arch body kit..."

Remember I'm only the messenger!!!

New forum: John Cooper Works
Official announcement (in English): 28th February 2007: John Cooper Workds Tuning Kit for the MINI Cooper S

Olly. · Feb 28th, 2007, 09:57 PM

I take this is more like a kit that can be dealer fitted (much like the sound kit for the old Cooper) rather than the full blown seperate JCW model that a lot of people were hoping for?

Is there still a full JCW model in the pipeline or is this it?

Correct, sound kit for the MCS, with a hint of power like there used to be on the Cooper

I'm sure you know the rest mate, and it wouldn't have been in the MINI2 news all those months ago about a seperate model if it wasn't happening

Tone · Feb 28th, 2007, 10:03 PM

Correct - only another year's wait, Olly
