Hi Guys picking up my new mini soon an have ordered the JCW seats as a spare part i pressume. Do I get the factory seats plus the JCW seats or does the dealeres keep the original seat ??

supa-dupa-cooper · Mar 6th, 2008, 06:23 AM

You have the right to the originals, you've paid for them

brett · Mar 6th, 2008, 07:08 AM

Thats what told the salesman. Cause I said that dads bringing the X5 along to fit the seats in. He asked what do you mean?? I said oiginals seats. He said not sure about that I;ll have to talk to the manager. i said well they don't send the car out of the factory with out seats. and as the JCW seats are a spare seat what would BMW want with a set of seats

A lot of dealers sell them on ebay - do the same with old bumpers when they fit the aero kit - nice little earner

steve11 · Mar 6th, 2008, 07:14 AM

Yep, keep onto them. I think your entitled to them, unless the car comes out of the factory with the JCW seats, which i doubt.

brett · Mar 6th, 2008, 07:45 AM

Yeah I'll be leaving with them or they can buy them from me.

I'd keep both sets & then you can always fit the standard ones & sell the JCW's seperate when you sell the car.
BTW when do you get your car?

brett · Mar 7th, 2008, 05:37 AM

Yep confirmed I'm able to keep the seats, and yes thats the plan, sell the JCW seats off when I sell the mini.

brett · Mar 7th, 2008, 05:37 AM

Well done - didn't think you'd get away with it

brett · Mar 7th, 2008, 08:24 AM

nah Motorline are pretty good to deal with. Just thought I would ask incase they decided to keep the seats.

Professor Peach · Mar 7th, 2008, 10:18 AM

How much are the JCW seats and are they a straight swap?

WOOOSH · Mar 7th, 2008, 10:30 AM

Yeah should be a straight swap cost about £1800 for pair

scottp7 · Mar 7th, 2008, 01:03 PM

threaten the dealer not to bother with them (the dealer) fitting the JCW seats, and you will fit them yourself.

They will be worried about losing out on their fitting costs and you could perhaps get it done somewhere cheaper, if not yourself if they are going to be a pain in the arse about it
