Before I do.....(fJCW order)

.....is there anything I need to know? I have a '11 MCS that I ordered new, and it's time to move on to a new one, so I'm going with a fJCW R60 this time around. Gonna place my order this week, or wait until I get back from vacation, the first week of November. Just curious as to if there's anything I need to be aware of before I pull the trigger?

Thanks!

Make you've throughly test driven the Countryman, it's not a MCS and doesn't drive like one.

At least not until you lower it a little and throw on a stiffer rear sway bar. But if you're going with a JCW, it should handle pretty close to it's smaller cousin. Test drive, test drive, test drive!

Maybe close but unless you lose 1,000 lbs, not that close. I'm not complaining, with my sport suspension it feels good but it's not my previous MCS when you throw it around.

Coilovers/Swaybar/JB+Tune will get it as close as I can for now to my MCS. I realize it's not going to be the little go-kart my MCS is, but it's the best alternative I can find for something with more room.

Probably placing the order on Sunday.
