I sold my JCW and regretted it ever since. I have found one with less than 10k miles. I think I might jump on it. I think the only mod I would do (other than tires) is have the dealer install the new digital dash.

 

Hi dpcompt,

Hopefully you purchase it. A friend has a Solaris Orange JCW and loves it so much!
- Please keep me posted if your dealer installs the digital dash. On my previous 2019 (Cooper S Iconic trim with HUD) I asked my local dealer for the installation if I purchased it through them, and was told they would not install it because it required coding of an option that was not available for that model year.

If it requires coding, most dealers won't touch it. Keep us posted!

 

By the way - it’s called an International Orange Edition. Yes, the color on the factory sticker is still technically Solaris Orange, but for whatever reason, they renamed it International Orange for this particular edition. I saw one at MTTS in 2018 and they look fantastic. I would definitely go for it if I were you.

 

@bluonyx, when I wanted to get it done last year that’s what I figured when they said no. I was more curious about your experience with the dealership if you do purchase that MINI.

Since that time I traded in that MINI for another one that was equipped with the digital dash.

@ASKtheteach, you are correct! That color with those graphics and being a JCW... an amazing MINI

My wife has a Solaris orange JCW.

 

I gave up on buying an International Orange MINI and August 1st I ordered a '22 JCW Hardtop Iconic. I picked it up Dec 1st. In today's market I had to pay MSRP, but no BS add ons.I got the car I wanted and couldn't be happier. This is my 5th MINI and the second one I had the patience to order. It's really nice to get the specs that you want.

 

I ordered my 2022 Mini Cooper JCW as well. When I was at the dealership to pick up my car in December 2021, there was an international orange one there that they had just gotten in on a trade. Real nice color and I would have considered ordering that color if it would have been an option.
