New fJCW owner!

Just bought a 2013 "Used" fJCW R56.


I say used as it was a company car for the driving school MINIUSA had at Indy Speedway. It was 3000 miles on it.


Excited to drive it - I've owned 3 MINIs before: 03 MC, 04 MCS, 10 Clubman S.


This one is... nicer .


Still trying to figure out the exact options on it and what not as I'm not completely up t speed on what options are part of a fJCW and what aren't (mine has the JCW aero kit, sport suspension, and JCW brakes - options?)


Oh, I forgot.. Recaro seats.

Congratulations, nice car. Where are the pictures?

The aero kit and big brakes are standard JCW. The sport suspension was an option (possibly no cost). Recaro seats were also an option.

When you say it was used by a driving school, was it driven on track? I'd be suspicious of that.

Awesome, thanks for the info on the BBK and aero kit.






No sweat on the MINI driving program thing... I checked it out and did my due diligence as much as I care to.




Thing will drive amazing and when problems occur I'll fix them or get rid of it, if they even occur. Too much fun and uniqueness to pass on.

Nice car
Nice line breaks
Double and then Triple space, bold yet sassy.
Enjoy the fJCW, you'll fall in love.
