Both demo cars I tried the standard dampers and seemed pretty good to me.. but I've been spoilt by years of driving BM's

Unlike many other upgrades changing the suspension components is possible aftermarket including a warranted JCW conversion. I haven't read a post saying. "i have tried the sports suspension in the cooper D and it is so much better" or a post "saying the standard suspension is rubbish, I wish I'd had the sports". Obviously the sports suspension will have subtly different characteristics in the D as opposed to the S. so I have not specified it. Having said that in my previous MINI I would have had the JCW suspension if it had been available.
