New JCW Owner

I just wanted to say hello. I am the proud owner of a 2017 JCW Coupe loaded up pretty well. It also has the Dinan chip that the dealer installed before I bought the car. My first Mini and I am impressed. I sold my C7 corvette, and I absolutely love this car. It is midnight black with 6 speed. I will be reading a lot in the next few days.

Welcome to NAM.

I sold my C6 vette and kept my Mini so I know a little bit from where you are coming from.

Mini Me 2009,
My wife tried to talk me out of getting rid of the vette, but to be honest I didn't have room for it and the Mini and I was a little board of the vette. It was my fifth since age 19. I also have 4 motorcycles and get my thrills out of those. I have a Ducati Monster 1200S, Triumph 675R Daytona, BMW K1300S, and a BMW K1600GT. So plenty of toys.

Thanks for all of the great responses. Here are some pictures. I love this car more everyday. It already has NM Engineereing lowering springs, short shift, intake, wheels and perilli run flats, dinantronics chip. Car runs and sounds great. Exhaust will be next after some research. Lert me know what you think

Yes, the dealer had already installed all of the items before I even laid eyes on it. It was in the showroom.
