Want to buy JCW with Recaros

I’m looking for a JCW with Recaros. If you’re interested in possibly selling yours, let me know!

I was so excited to see Recaros were an option for the minis. I had them in a 20th anniversary gti a few years back and they were by far my favorite seats out of all the vehicles I've owned. Good luck on your hunt

Here are the factory Recaros from my 2014 JCW Coupe. My current 2020 JCW Clubman seats are pretty similar.

Recaros for Sale

I actually have a set of Recaro seats from a Gen 2 that I would be willing to let go. I bought them from AllMag several years ago; paid a premium price - but I actually found an R55 (not JCW) that had them and that is the car I am now building so I don't need them anymore.

Damn these look good! is this OEM Mini seats or are they a different manufacturer like Recaro or Corbeau because I cant tell what model these are since they both sell so many different versions.

Those are the second gen OEM JCW seats made by Recaro. They are Sportser CS’s with airbags and were not available in the US. There were two versions, four of you count the JCW logo variations, all leather, or leather with dynamica (alcantara) inserts. The dynamica version had colored embroidered logos and the leather had debossed logos which can be seen in the pic above if you zoom into the top section of the seat backs.

They’re really rare, and even more rare with the original version of the JCW logo.
