JCW New JCW Garage for the Gen 3

The JCW seats will not be cloth as standard.
The stock option are the seats pictured above. These are alcantara centres with the red accents. Red will be the only colour choice for the accent.
The only way to ditch the red accents will be to take the full leather option. This will give you leather centres and replace the red accents with a darker coloured alcantara.

I'm more interested in what the 3-gauge option will be?

Well we know the HUD on a JCW F56 will have rev lights and a gear indicator...wouldn't it be cool if it was possible to have oil pressure, boost, and the timer to be optionally displayed as well with the HUD?

I, personally think the MINI HUD looks very cheap. If it was on the windshield, that'd be cool, but they put a plastic pop-up and call it HUD.
I agree, to some extent on the timer, but remember MINI's roots in Rallying. A timer/stop watch is essential for timing distances. Usually by a passenger. I do like the oil pressure and boost gauge though. Maybe trade the timer for a temperature gauge?

Definitely seems like it's not "all there" yet...some elements are missing like swatches for the body color. You can click on them and the car will change, but no swatch, if that makes sense...

The cloth are pretty sweet if included in the $30.4k price. They look similar to my Recaros which were a $2900 upgrade over the standard sport seats (I don't even know if you got leather standard on the 2014 JCW). Considering you get those and LED lights and better wheels standard, as well as the body, brakes, guages, and turbo this car looks like a bargain to me. I think anthracite headliner comes with it too.

Oops, I retract my statement after looking more closely at these seats. They do look like the MINI S optional at no cost seats. But these have the built in headrest with the JCW logo. So stand correct. Actually, I rsther like these better, especially if one goes with the Rebel agreen or one of the Blues. Not bad at all.

Pricing
Just saw the MotoringFile piece on the factory JCW and pricing. If I remember correctly from Gabe's interview with some MINI exec, that the new Rebel Green was to be a non metallic color. So, assuming the way I do I thought that this would be a free, no cost color. NO IT IS NOT. Rebel Green optional cost
$1,000. Doesn't make any sense to me.
I agree with most of the other options, as with MINI you can option it the way you want, not like VW which offer hardly any options. Even with their new to the us R series, only in 5-door and automatic. Europe gets the manual and 3-door.
What's also going to give VW R and Golf fits is the announcement of the Ford Focus RS with all wheel drive that has been updated to handle the 320+ hp that it will generate, and with a manual shifter, no automatics yet. Guess Ford in this case, does have a better idea.

BMW windshield HUD is absolutely awesome, but significantly more expensive and furthermore requires custom pricey windshields.
Plastic pop-up is ... sad.
Oil temp, oil pressure, and boost is all you need, and I could live with just 2 out of 3.

Very sad, very true.

Timer is fluff.

Better to install your own. Imo

So, I ordered a Jcw on Friday 13th,
White silver/red roof - manual
No stripes (will get custom strips to mimick the concept car)
18 wheels
Premium
Wired
Rally lights
Dampening suspension
Cornering lights
Leather/dinamica seat with red glowing dash trim
I'm supposed to hear from the dealer soon about eta on the manual.
Question is, I haven't done much research yet. Has there been tuning upgrades for Jcw cars in the past for a little more hp?
