Key is around 200 and you have to have ID and registration to order. The dealer can tell you about suspension options with the VIN.

Have the dealer gave you a second key at no cost since they lost it.

JCW Sport Suspention

The JCW Clubman was not available from the factory with the sport suspension as an option. Take it easy, But take it Ken R.

Thanks for the answer. Here is why I asked:

In the 90's I had a black Volvo 850 Turbo Wagon. It looked like a badass, was very fast from the stoplight, but I didn't like that it just felt way too heavy on an autocross, or any twisty road for that matter.

The looks of the bad *** wagon still call to me though. But then reality sets in and I realize that my love of driving a lightweight sports car is just not going to reconcile with my desire to look like Darth Vader on wheels (i.e. Merc AMG E55)!
