They say John Cooper Works on them, so I assume they're JCW.

Lovely car! Congrats! Those are some cool rims -- haven't seen any like those before!

Nice ride welcome to the 20/26mpg club

hehe thanx all !! just got back from a pub/long drive! wow what can i say i love it !! it has a few dead bugs on it now and the fuel gauge has gone down but other than that its great!

the seats are the new JCW as atomickiwi correctly stated and the wheels are the 'Alpina' 18" rims that people on here ither love or hate, i personally love em !


one quick question, whats the point of being able to put the windows down via the key if you cant put them back up without turning the ignition on ? just wondering!

Also when i put my foot down a little is there ment to be a wicked sounding 'WHINE'

Turn the key in the door to the lock position and hold until the windows and/or sunroof are completely closed.


Beautiful color – love the rims!

Ahhhh makes perfect sence now !! im off to the garage to give it a try


thanks

Congrats! I get mine tomorrow!

Ive often wondered that about the windows - I already know about using the remote to get the windows down/use key in lock to get windows up and had a 96 3series bmw where you could turn the key in the door lock to get them back up - but my bmw also put he windows back up with the remote - seems Mini did half a job here - I think if you can unlock/wind windows down with the remote you should be able to put back up with remote.

[Zippster]

Well here in S. Florida, especially in the summer, i feel like cars can heat up to like 1000 degrees. I'd love it if my car had remote open windows, cuz now I have to cook myself for 5 minutes everytime I wanna drive during the day. (I drive a 93 plymouth colt if youre wondering)

Very Nice.

[flatsix02]

Very very nice. Congrats on the new MCS. I love those alpina's, fits the car really well. How's the seating in those JCW seats? Comfy?

the seats are REALLY comfy, hold you very well and not bad on your back, theres lumber support adjustment in there somewhere aswell
