All good things come to those who wait.

eventually....

AidenL · Nov 5th, 2006, 02:31 PM

Oh, the carbon fibre dash trims will look good too

I assume the door rings won't be speccable in CF though?

1. The JCW bodykit will be fitted as standard.

2. The 18" composite wheels may be fitted, or may be an upgrade - there should be new JCW wheeels though, probably in 17" with the upgrade to 18" available.

3. The headliner will be anthracite as standard.

4. There may be a new JCW badges steering wheels and gearknob.

5. JCW sill strips will be included.

6. The JCW brake kit and suspension will be fitted, this includes drilled discs this time.

7. Engine power will be a minimum of 230 bhp.

Im surmising some of this from previous experience of BMWs Sport pack options available on the 3 and 5 series.

Now, do I wait, or go with a standard R56 ?

seems more sensible to wait, as you would be ticking and paying for most of those types of options if you were to order a R56 and not getting the actual JCW car

And as we are saying on the main Speccin' thread, the original

, if they are standard on the seperate JCW model , trading a JCW will mean better retained value down the line

I reckon so

Tone · Nov 5th, 2006, 06:55 PM

What, Aiden, might be a very approx. price window for your spec, d'ya think?

wow · Nov 5th, 2006, 07:10 PM

Aiden I am i the same boat as you and I do not know what to do?

I think the JCW will follow in the footsteps of the 130i Sport with Body kit, rimes, suspensions, badges and POWER.

Does anyone have a source where we can get more insider information about JCW?

Jaffa Racer · Nov 6th, 2006, 01:25 PM

I'm waiting for the full fat factory JCW car. Just hope I have deep enough pockets

Tone , I'm guessing £23k starting price - depending on what is fitted as standard - I can't see the R56 JCW being as cheap as the R53 GP, which was a relative bargain as a run out model..............

Deeper pockets needed than currently I'd say...........

I'm still uncertain what to do...........its a long wait till Jan 08, and me with an April 04 car

Jaffa Racer · Nov 6th, 2006, 04:36 PM

Same here, MOT in Jan. House decorating next year so that gives me a long time to spec a R56 S just incase
