Jcw r58 and the configurator

Hey guys, Its time to upgrade from my R53. So I'm going with the coupe. I'm trying to build it at miniusa but have noticed some strange stuff. First, what equipment comes standard? Apparently I can still spend 500 on sports suspension and 2200 on the JCW aero kit. As well as the various JCW suspension bits. The picture even changes when the aero kit is selected.

On another note does the 2014 JCW R58, which I assume I'm configuring, have the n18 or n14 engine? I'm still going back and fourth on getting an S with the JCW upgrades or just getting a JCW. I don't understand the HP difference... 2100 for 8hp seems a little steep.

Any thoughts? I apologize if this is in the wrong section or has been addressed. My cursory search didn't give me answers.

Yes, the JCW comes with the regular suspension, and the sport suspension is a $500 option. However, the S model with the JCW exterior package includes the sports suspension. Don't know why the difference.

The JCW model comes with the aero kit, it is a $2000 option to add to an S (JCW exterior option). N18 engine is in both JCW and S.

Yes, it is a costly to get an extra 8hp...it's all in engine/exhaust mods...that's why I ordered the Roadster S with the JCW exterior and interior options.
