It's new to me! Picked up this 2014 Countryman S the other day and loving it! I think I got a great deal on it, only had 33K miles.
The interesting dilemma I have is, I bought it from a Lexus dealer (must've been a trade-in) so I'm not quite 100% sure what is original, what is an option and what is aftermarket on the car. If anyone can help me figure it out, that'd be great.
Question #1 - Suspension - I am pretty positive it's lowered. I haven't taken a wheel off to take a look, but I can see on the spring looks like it has a part # 91309 stamped on it. It just looks lower than others I'd taken a look at, and the wheel well gap looks too small for stock springs.
Question #2 - Exhaust - Does someone point me to a picture of a stock exhaust? I'm almost positive that the exhaust has been replaced on it, as it's pretty obnoxiously loud when you're hard on the gas. Or, maybe it has the JCW exhaust, because...
Question #3 - JCW stuff - it also looks like I have lots of JCW "extras" like the JCW body trim package, JCW wheels and JCW door sills. (Is there a JCW package that includes lowering springs?)
Question #4 - Radio - it looks like I have a 6-speaker Harmon Kardon system? Is that a standard issue? Is satellite radio standard?
I'm just starting to get into the threads and stuff - it's good to be here - I'm not sure my wife will like the fact that I have a mod-able car again as I years ago I had a pretty tricked out Infiniti FX35 that made it to a few magazines and did the show rounds for a while:
Can't tell much from that picture but it's probably all jcw options . Congratulations, the n18 countrymans are probably the most reliable MINIs. You should still be under warranty too so that's a plus.
