JCW Anyone order non Dinamica Seats?
#2
I ordered Carbon Black Cross Punch Leather instead of the Dinamica seats. I originally spec'd the car with Dinamica and changed at the last minute to leather. I was really worried about how the seats would wear after looking at pictures of used Gen 2 GP's online (same style seats). None of them were terrible but leather should wear better and they are easier to take care of. I would love to share pics but I haven't received my car yet. There are some nice pics of cross punch online. I think they look great. The new Challenge 210 has them as well. Good luck with the decision.

I have the leather seats in my MCS. They are not supper high end leather but seem to wear fine. The edge of the seats is made from suede like material...this has worn on my car from me getting in and out of the car. So I'm thinking if the Dinamica leather seats have this material they will not wear well.

Do you have the leather or the leatherette seats in your MCS?

They do. They are not JCW sport seats, they're the same sport seats in the regular Minis, and you can get leather. The "JCW" seats are the dinamicas, the ones that resemble my Recaros, with the wrap around shell. They are standard on the JCW and $2000 extra for Alcantara leather.

Guess I would recommend these if I was asked. :=)

I've had my car for just over a week and I'm so happy I didn't get the Dinamica seats. I picked up my daughter twice from softball this past week and it was nice being able to wipe down the seat with leather cleaner after her pants got the seat dirty. I would not have been happy otherwise...

I upgraded to the Sport Seats with Carbon Black Cross Punch Leather. They are a $1500 upgrade. They are black leather seats a few posts above. The bolsters are great. The JCW seats really only appear to add the integrated headrest. Having kids and a dog they made the most sense. They look and feel great.

So you can't get the JCW seats in the Cross Punch Black leather? I've got the sport seats with CP leather in my F56S and love them. They look and feel good and after a year are holding up fine. I'm in the process of configuring a JCW and have been confused by the seating options (or lack thereof).

I realize I don't have the same JCW seats (Recaro), but the seating surface of mine is Alcantara fake leather, and there's no sliding at all. The bolsters are the regular leather. My 2007 R56 seats were leather, and you to slide a bit. I think the Dinamicas look great in the pix and was surprised they are standard on the JCW. IMO the F56 seats are great too though.

I don't know that I agree a full leather seat would negate the purpose of the JCW seat. There are plenty of very high end sports cars that have full leather seats. Just sayin...
