The car is 'rare' only because the Paceman wasn't a particularly popular design (it was pretty badly thought out - a less-practical 'utility' car?) and only sold for about 2 years. Coming to the end of the 2nd gen era think some BMW designers were given a bit of leeway to experiment, hence that, the Coupé and the Roadster, none of which survived more a than a few years and were omitted from gen 3.
As such, when you look at specific trim levels in specific countries, the numbers can be ultra-low (for example, there were only ever 49 automatic JCW Roadsters in the UK, and I have one of those 49). However we're not talking rarity in that it was a sought-after limited run that you'll find a plethora of collectors avidly searching for.

You don't have a Paceman JCW, it's an S.
