As I stated, I am not sure what triggered my car having the red-stitched steering wheel and JCW sill plates........especially without the JCW interior package.

I believe it is highly probable that all 2013 & 2014 cooper S models should comes with the paddle shifter. If you do not order any special interior than some of the cooper S elements might be identical to JCW though it is not the case for many options.

To my knowledge, only the MINI yours interior package does not provide the paddle shifters on an S automatic, this I believe because it is a very small run and they likely do not want too many part number for those rare options such as the MINI yours interior package.

At least that is how I understand it.

Thanks!

I ordered a 2014 Clubman S with JCW interior in Aug (Oct delivery). It has the red stitching and the paddle shifters.

You can also manual shift using the gear shifter. Just knock it out of D and you can +/- (up/down) with the stick. I'll prob use the stick more often than the paddles.
