New 2012 JCW owner

Hey All,
I'm happy to say that I am a new Mini owner to a beautiful British Racing Green JCW. Currently sitting at 112,000 miles. Still don't have a name for her yet so if y'all have any good suggestions let me know. If there is anyone here with a 2012 JCW with the N14 and have any suggestions to keep it running reliably for a while please send me suggestions for that as well.

Congrats and Welcome. Our company work car is a 2012 JCW Clubman so it's the same underneath as yours. The biggest thing is to change the oil every 5k and run premium fuel.

Hi and welcome to the NAM family! Great looking BRG 12 JCW with full body kit! It looks like it has the slick roof (no glass) is that so? if so, very cool!
Go to the gen 2 area and read up on your model and stock problems. It will help you to keep this bad boy alive!

Welcome. I have a N14 JCW also, make sure the waterpump is metal on the outside, thermostat has been changed, and the oil is changed regularly going forward.

Have you gone over the engine top to bottom?

the coolant pump was replaced (11517648827) I'm not sure about thermostat. I believe I have gone over everything. Is there a thread with a comprehensive list on everything to double check?
