2008 JCW R52 in mint condition for $11k ... is it worth it.. seems really really high to me.. like 5k too much.. wife really likes it though, fully loaded convertible in Astro Black and manual... Because owning a 17 Clubman S all4 and 18 Countryman S all4 was not enough.....

 

I know the exact car you are referring to. That car had a $37k sticker when new, and is pretty rare. Anyone looking for an R52, you really can’t to any better that this one.

I’d jump on it personally, but I’m know to make questionable financial decisions.

 

I know which one too. Extremely low mileage, if it had Chrono I would have considered it. Doubt you will find another one .

 

Honestly you’ll probably have more fun driving the R52 JCW. And as the point was made not an easy car to find.

 

I also found 2008 r52 convertible JCW with 88,000 miles. The body and interior are in very good shape. It needed new tires' brakes all around, new battery and alternator and a few minor things. I bought it for $9600 and have no regrets. A joy to drive and a head turner. If the R52 is in good shape with low miles buy it before its gone.

 

post pics if you get it, love some r52 jcws

 

06 rR52 jcw from factory I bought and redid entire car. It was a 37k window sticker without the side skirts and R90 wheels. I replaced the eel heels for the R112.

Custom floor mats I had made


Custom dash is painted and cleared

Door panel arm rest wrapped with Alcántara and red stitching

Custom dash and center pillars also painted matte black.

Custom steering wheel. Removed airbag, changed the color of center, removed leather from wheel, filled the groove from factory, wrapped it with Alcántara and leather with red stiching. Took apart multifunction controls and painted them Matte black to match and covers painted to match dash.

Driver door arm rest speakers trim and door handle painted black

My baby

Hood scoop painted black rally light two toned.

 

Heres the 08 R52 JCW I just bought. 63k on it. Needs a couple little things fixed but I think it was a good deal for 5k.

 

Wow, two nice Minis! Love the interior details on both.

 

The interior and exterior look great. Welcome to the R52 JCW club.

 

Decent R52 are hard to come by. Love mine 😎

 

Nice. Is that green with a green top. Also an aero kit and rally lights. I was thinking of adding the rally lights on mine. Where does the switch go.

 

I have them and switch goes on lower left panel of driver side.

I have them and a friend is selling a brand new pair.

 

Yes, BRG with green roof. Spotlight work along with the main beam.
I also have a set of R90 wheels with green inserts 😎

 

There’s also a factory extension harness from MINI to move/mount the switch on the center console below the handbrake next to the TPMS switch.

It was only about $5 when I bought one from ECS.

 

This thread took an interesting turn. Some really nice R52s posted here.

The one mentioned in the first post was an LOSC edition for sale at MINI of Alexandria. It’s sold, wonder who got it.

 

What's an LOSC edition.

 

“Last of the Supercharged” edition. It was a MINI USA special edition in the US market. 100 total (1 for each dealership at the time) to commemorate the end of the W11 Tritec supercharged production motors in 2008.

They were an Astro Black JCW Sidewalk with unique grill badge, door sills, and silver sport stripes. Here is the owners thread on NAM: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ial-100-a.html

 

Oh ok. I knew there were only 100 of the JCW sidewalk editions made in 08 buy I never knew it was 1 per dealer. That explains the 11k price tag.

 

My R52 JCW. Just hit 90k. With the current stay at home policy my last stop at a gas station was a few weeks ago.

I found this car listed on Craigslist. My wife and I are very happy with it. The stay at home policy has interfered with driving. But we need to help flatten the curve. Be calm and stsy on the farm.

 

A real beauty. Have you done any engine mods?
