“BMW and John Cooper Works have established ‘a working relationship’. that relationship enables buyers to order John Cooper Works conversion kits through BMW dealers, either to be fitted pre-delivery or as an aftermarket upgrade, and responsibility for warranty claims has been worked out. buyers can also get hold of a ready-converted John Cooper Works MINI direct from the John Cooper Works HQ at East Preston, West Sussex.”
