Jack?
I have a 2015 Mini Cooper S. Needed to jack the car up, went to the boot to get the Jack and noticed that it is no longer there. Asked about it to my MA and he said the no longer supply a jack with the car... Is that true??

Any run-flat equipped MINI no longer comes with a jack, including the Cooper S Hardtops, which have standard run-flats. This extends to the other models as well. I don't think they package them with the Countryman or Paceman anymore either as of a year or two ago.

You don't have a spare either.

Did they swap tires at the dealer?
As far as I know, if the car is ordered with RF, you don't get the jack or spare.

No spare with the mcs. Larger exhaust = no room :-)

Justa RFs & Spare and Jack
When I ordered the 16" black victory spoke wheels they came as run flats. Still have jack and spare.

The car came with run flats from the factory. The window sticker shows run flats and a spare.

As I stated above. Has to do with the model.
Justa - can come with either RF or non RF and has a spare because it has more room.
MCS - no spare- no room
Hope this helps.

How did you attach the tire to the boot?

That's not me, just something I found on Google.
By the way, in Canada I had to fight to get a spare for my 3-cylinder, and even my 2006 R50 "Cooper Classic" model didn't come with the spare or jack, it may have been the first non-S not to, I had to find one at a junk yard in Texas.
