2019 Electric Blue JCW ordered

Ordered my new JCW last friday. Super excited to see what it looks like.

Got the signature trim, added JCW Pro exhaust, carbon fiber tips, front spoiler and rear diffuser.

Now i need to figure out what to do for the next 12 weeks with my life . Hoping to get it before then...

When we got ours, I was sure my lovely wife would go for this blue. She loved other years' blue MINIs... and we've always had Pepper White. We went with Moonwalk Grey and Red roof, but this is a close second in my book!

Yeah I like that blue color a lot. One thing I don't like is that goofy big black bar across the front grill under the thin red piece. I think that's only on the JCW body kit and I don't understand why they do that piece and it's always black. On mine it's integrated into the JCW bumper and it's the body color not black.

It looks great!!! Wife has the blue/white combo on her F55. Nothing goofy about it.

Wish people would keep the stupid comments to themselves.

12 weeks seems like 12 years Electric Blue FTW

I wanted blue for a while. I was trying to get the new M2 in Long Beach blue but ended up finding a good deal on the white one last year.

The black bar is covering the new updated pedestrian safety bits, and you don't see it on your car because it doesn't have it. It's only on the F** vehicles, and it's on all of them, JCW, S, and base models. They are all black, unless the owner sends it out for paint or wraps it. Nothing the owners can do about it from the factory.

It has been 4 weeks still no tracking number :(
I have been checking Mini Lounge to see if I can see any progress but other than my number all consecutive numbers come up with a specific build. Does anyone know if it takes longer for JCWs to appear there?

I ordered my JCW Clubman on May 17, had a VIN to track it a week later. It’s already in the states and should be here to the dealership on Friday. A lot of it has to do with timing for the JCw’s, they only build them several times a year in batches, if you get a build in close to when they cut off that particular batch it takes way less time.

I was going for unique! Thanks!

It's got the Sneed4Speed front splitter that I got from you guys on it now, that I added a 1/2 inch piece of white reflective tape along the edge to:

Check with your MA, they can pull up much more current info than on the Lounge site...the Lounge site seems to be 1-2 weeks behind direct info from your MA. Congrats on the order and I really like that color combo!

How did you order the JCW Pro exhaust? So confused. Many post on here stating the JCW Pro exhaust is not available for any JCW after Nov 2017 (2018s and 2019s) I also contacted 3 Mini dealers who told me something similar. Just trying to find out if it is still an option. Oh, I also ordered a 2019 Electric Blue JCW with Black Top. At least I am on the east Coast. Thanks.

I do not know. I ordered from the dealer and they were able to add it. I spoke to my sales rep last week and he said everything is in order no issues... Still no tracking though...

I think you can do it but its an issue with the coding at one time. So they must have it fixed. I talked to the MINI product manager last year at a meet and they said it was an issue with the bluetooth picking up other bluetooth item rolling down the street.

Dang! Hope I can figure this out. I want to add it before taking delivery. I ordered on 20 June. Received a VIN about 5 days later. I then received updates saying it was in "PAINT" and then in "ASSEMBLY" .
Really want to figure this exhaust thing out.

Dang! I ordered on June 1st and no VIN yet. Did you order a JCW? I do not think you can add JCW Pro exhaust after they place the order.
