Drove one today - My 2007 Cooper S has almost 4 fingers front tire top to wheel molding - 2009 JCW has two fingers - I am sure - Ride height looks great - Shift linkage is much improved - Both cars have standard suspension, but JCW rode smoother - The motor is perfect - I will get one asap

 

Awesome... post pictures when you do!

 

Two fingers is what I verified - my first R56 MCS was four fingers, second one was three fingers.

 

i have an 08 jcw and there are only 2 fingers. this is the second jcw r56 I've had....they sink some after you drive them awhile. i would highly recommend waiting a few months before going with any lowering springs or coilovers...
