Checking to see if anyone has seen anything definitive with regards to JCW Trim for 2025 non- JCW Minis in the U.S. I’m reading that the only way that paddle shifters will be available are on the JCW Minis when they launch later this fall or on the JCW trim kit as they’ve been shown on most Euro based YouTube Mini reviews. My dealer doesn’t seem to have any insight into this and claims BMW is slow to announce anything more specific than what’s showing up in the dealers lots right now.

 

It feels like they're saving all their advertising dollars and hype building for the EV. This is the first time I haven't seen any real advertising at all for a new model. I just picked up a 2025 S ICE and absolutely love it. I feel if they advertised all the amazing new tech and convenience features that they'd get a bunch of people in the door looking at them. Really feels like they're just silently pushing out an allotment of ICE model to satisfy those that don't want to go EV.
