The 19" wheels look proper on your Clubman JCW!

The picture is not of the 19" Course Spoke, which is the only 19" offered as far as I know.

Hi 03mini-S

The render is the 19" Course Spoke buuuuut painted in black.. a friend of mine did the photoshop :razz.

This is one of the mods that dealer must do before picking up the Mini

I didn't see any Course Spoke painted in Black... so I hope they looks great!!

ok, it's kind of dark so it made it difficult to see the spoke design. Interesting.

I had similar 17" wheels in silver on my 2007 MCS. I forget what they were called, xxxxx Spoke as I recall.

Nice. I think the chrome looks good with that color, FWIW.

Thank you guys for your feedback, rims would be the same painted in black as the render attached some post ago and grill is a must for me to be in black!

I'm wondering why Pro exhaust is not available yet... it would be a must have.

I wouldn't change a thing! Why mess with something that looks stellar as is?

Here's what I have wished for 10 years... and I am still wishing it: That they do a Clubman-JCW4, with at least 300hp, and the kind of RWD-Bias and overall balance of a Lancer EVO. They could build a car (using bmw X-drive components?) that could compete with (for example) the FOCUS RS, but with added utility. Call it the mini-lover's Rs4 Avant... IF they built this, I'd buy it.

Just add IC + DP + ECU Modd and for less than 2500$ you'll have 300HP.

Yea but your factory warranty on a $40,000 car is shot to hell with those upgrades. I agree with you but not willing to throw out the warranty that soon.

I agree with the post above as someone who had ordered a Focus RS last year, but decided on my current MINI, because it has a better build quality, BUT nearly everyday I wish it had more power.

BMW/MINI build us a 300HP factory backed MINI, you have the parts ready to go. Take your M2 drivetrain and put the Clubman body on it!

RANT OFF

yes PLEASE, with RWD biased awd... make it a quick like a lancer Evo and torquey like a wrx-sti and a gearshift like a new Miata and the build quality of an Rs4. For $40k out the door please. ;-)

Great car. Man there's not much sidewall on those tires. How's the ride?

My setup is :

Sport Suspension
19" Rims
Runflat

so... it's not oriented to be comfortable, my previous car was an R55 with PSS coilivers so I tried to configured my new car as Sport as I Could.

i really satisfied with my firsts impressions, driving modes are a change agent on this car, transforming the experience.

Today I did my first ride with my baby and she felt asleep in 5 mins 😝🚗.
