What's the damage for one, if you don't mind me asking. I tihnk in the US they get them for US$29,000

minigolf · May 7th, 2008, 05:56 AM

Would love to hear the specs of the car, ie. what the accessories the car comes with before you start ticking options boxes.

jodunca · May 7th, 2008, 06:11 AM

Not a lot of box's to tick!

Take a Chilli pack S

add JCW pack consisting of:

* Performance engine
* 17 in cross spoke Challenge S light alloys
* JCW exhaust
* 260 kph speedo
* JCW badges
* Dynamic Traction Control (DTC)
* Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
* Fascia Piano Black
* Anthracite Headliner
* Sun protection glazing (no-one at the dealers knows wot this is!)

The only other factory options appear to be your bonnet stripe colour.

(that includes stamp duty of $1755 and GST of ~$5500)

Wow, thanks heaps for that info.

Cheers Liam

PS. I just added a PDF of some specs that I had hidden away, great to have pricing confirmed though.

Quickbrick · May 7th, 2008, 09:12 AM

Congrats Jodunca. You gotta be looking forward to August coming around.

So I guess if you want the JCW Brakes and Suspension you have to tick some of those boxes Liam was talking about. Are these options even available yet?

Sometimes I tell myself I should have waited and got the full JCW R56 ... but I know I wouldn't be able to resist the JCW seats; suspension; Brakes and probably a few other options so I know the $55k would suddenly have become more like $65k.

jodunca · May 7th, 2008, 10:19 AM

The factory JCW has the bigger brakes and the Chilli's sports suspension. I will probably add the aero kit as a dealer fit later (no stamp duty!) and see how the suspension and brakes hold up. There are some nice after market gear for both available from the US at good prices with the Ozzy the way it is (.95 today!)

P.S. My wife's Sidewalk was $61K, so this is great value.

Wizzzz · May 7th, 2008, 11:12 AM

Congrats Jodunca !
It sounds great !

I believe this basically means that the windows are tinted slightly...

That sounds fantastic jodunca, welcome to the 3-4 months of pain whilst waiting for the ship to arrive, my Clubman MCS is due Aug as well

That actually seems pretty reasonable

- in the context of Mini pricing at least

jameshaydn · Jul 11th, 2008, 10:07 AM

I've read that BMW plan to release an upgrades version of the Gen 2 JCW kit. I'm planing on ordering an new 'S' with the kit but if there's a new kit coming I'll wait.
Has anyone heard the same? Cheers,

congrats!
dont forget to post a review when you get it.

that is a very good price!
by the time i add the JCW stage 1 kit and brakes + some other bits and pieces my car would cost the same or more!

Lurks · Aug 22nd, 2008, 01:37 AM

Saw a nice JCW at BMW Melbourne. Tasty with big brakes, mean wheels and of course the aero kit . Although the front and back look kind of nasty to me really.

I wonder if I can convince Outmotoring to actually post their JCW side skirts. I'm sure some price point between their US$799 and BMW Melbourne's AU$2,600 could be reached...

Congratulations, you will love it.

I just got back from a nice test drive of one and am very impressed.

There is a beautiful CR/B one sitting in the showroom all ready for collection by a lucky clubMINI owner at 8:00a.m. tomorrow

minigolf · Aug 22nd, 2008, 06:52 AM

Looks like I need to pay a visit to Rolfe soon.

I emailed Outmotoring for exactly the same thing as I was ready to pay more for the postage. See Aaron Cornaby's reply...

Hi, we are okay with shipping them but they are too large to go via USPS due to the box size and to ship them via UPS which is the other method we have they use what is called dimensional weight to calculate shipping charges and a rough estimate totaled nearly $650 just for shipping!!!

If you know of a freight forwarder in the USA, we can ship to them if you can get better rates from them...

tats almost the cost of the part, too much!

Hence, I am now looking for a freight forwarder... Anyone know a good contact?
