Is JCW maintenance more expensive than regular Cooper S maintenance?

[Aminiman]

I'm trying to make a decision, and the responsible part of me wants to know!

Since the brakes are larger in the new JCW package, I'm guessing that having them done will be more expensive down the road. What about other maintenance? Do the service people see the JCW badging and automatically add 10% to the bill? Hah I guess not, but you know what I mean.

The irresponsible part of me just says F*(% it just buy the damned thing!

I am not aware of any rise in servicing costs for JCW. If the pads are more expensive then it will onlt be a small difference

Servicing is no difference, some parts like brake pads may be a little more but whatever its worth it, this is the cheapest performance car I have ever owned bar none
