So what would you rather have, German Tuned mini or British tuned mini.

I mean there are som many rumours going about the Alpina that its hard really to compare. Whats for sure is the JCW S is going to be suped up S, while the Alpina is apparently going to have a new bigger engine if I heard correctly. Anyway I'm not going to speculate as I wouldn't have a clue.

One thing's for sure, the JCW is available from September and there is still no news on the Alpina.

I think the 210 BHP that JCW is going to offer is pretty much going to be brutal enough for most people. Its most likely that the supposed Alpina version will be of the same power output (or thereabouts), so at the end of the day it comes down to desirability, exclusivity and cost. At £3500 estimated for the JCW I'd guess its going to be cheaper than the Alpina.

Alpina.....no question. With a MCO OPER number plate.....

Especially if it has a SMG, which it will need to top the Works S.







ha ha ha ha




I generally dislike polls Damian, but this is a good one. Well done.

Cheers
