You will love yours. That looks just like our 2016 we bought new from the showroom floor in Oct 2017. You will love it. Only mods so far have been a short shift, whalen shift ****, and a Dinan Elite. Have a new powerflex engine bushing to get some of the engine flex out but that is not installed yet.
Thanks for any input as I’m considering a SS for my JCW as the stock feel is just not to my liking....too loose imo!

CravenSpeed. Really good quality, I run it on shortest setting. The Whalen Shift Machine **** adds enough mass to offset leverage lost. I really like the feel compared to stock. Was even able to use stock shift boot.

woo!
My MINI may sink in the Pacific, but at least it passed the Canal so sinking in the Atlantic is off the table.

Any chance you ordered your MINI from Anna at Schaumberg?
Just in case you hadn't heard yet, your JCW is at the 'Produced not Shipped' stage, so it's fully built and waiting for a ride to the port!

YES!
The Ask Mini number has a different update. Says it is at port waiting for ship to be assigned.

Do you know Anna? She has been great through the whole ordering process.
Docked!
Vinman will be seeing their JCW pretty soon!
I'm looking at another week before its at the dealer up north... the upside being I'll actually be here to take delivery, my international trip being delayed a week... the downside being my lovely wife will be driving it everywhere while i'm gone immediately thereafter, ha!

Hey,
Does anyone know if the UK tail lights is part of a package? I thought it was standard on the 2019 but I think that is the UK market only. Now I am paranoid that I did not order the UK lights. I basically ordered everything but driving assist. I emailed my MA and will see what she has has to say.
Thanks,
Stephanie

If you mean the Union Jacks in the tails, they are standard for 2019. My car arrived and was brought home yesterday: the first or second 2019 configured by my dealership. It's glorious. Here's a pic. More photos to follow in a separate thread once I take them.

I do, I met her when I went to the training center in Chicago and stopped by the local dealers. She seems to pretty much run the place. She's wonderful.

To be more specific, they are standard on the JCW models because they come standard with LED headlights. On Cooper and Cooper S models, the Union Jack tail lights come as an upgrade when you get LED headlights, otherwise you get the pre-LCI LED tail lights, the round ones. Like they did with the R56 gen LCI.
