JCW R56 for $1100 extra - MINI2

Anyone else get the letter about this today? You can add the JCW kit to an R56 for $1100 at the moment..... pretty hard to resist if one was getting a new one....

you mean it can be fitted if you already have an R56 ?

I think it's only at purchase time, not retrofit.

Is that for the body kit or the engine bits???
Maybe time for me to upgrade!!! Mine clicked of 22,000km yesterday in 8 months and 8 days!

it's the engine bits (filter, exhaust, ECU)

I doubt you could get it as a retrofit - I think it's only when buying a new car.

For a strictly limited time when you purchase a new 2007 MINI Cooper S*, you can have a John Cooper Works tuning kit fitted for just $1,100 – that’s an incredible saving of over $3,000!

so the JCW kits is only around 4K originally? I thought they are a 10K option for the R53...

the car has to be delivered in NOVEMBER

I am currently specing one
Chilli Cooper S
Pepper white Black roof, with black bonnet stripes
Sat Nav, Bluetooth, DSC, Comfort access ( Lazy mans keys, absolute waste of money) Red interior inserts, Ipod adaptor and JCW SEATS but because no one has one in stock I miss out on the $1100 baby bonus.... I mean JCW kit

I've just emailed BMW Pleading to get it exteded outlining my issues with the mini that I have had ( 8 sets of interior trim) plus saying I'm a BIG mini fan having owned 9 of them and no mini in QLD have those specs I want

From what i understand it is only for 'in stock' cars which means it IS dealership fitted.
A very good enticer to buy up some existing R56 stock.

I would soooo love to pay $$$ and get it all fitted!!

One problem for you... Lets just say that you can get it for $1100...

You have an AUTO... I don't think the kit is available for AUTO yet, which really sucks !

Bugger!! Wonder if i could just get the other bits like brakes, struts, suspension, aerokit, exhaust.. hmm..
