JCW vs non-JCW ride height

Hey all!

I'm looking into upgrading from my 2011 R60 S to an All4, potentially a JCW. I have a couple questions because I'm looking to lift my new ride with the M7 spacer kit and bigger tires for some light off-roading, and I want to get as much ground clearance as I can:
  1. Is the sport suspension package the same between JCW and non-JCW? I ask because I came across this https://www.shopminiusa.com/PRODUCT/...ORT-SUSPENSION, which says it gives a 10mm lowering and I'm sure refers to Gen3 JCWs, but it got me thinking there might be a difference in Gen2 JCW and non-JCW ride heights - I love the feel of my current R60 S sport suspension, and I'm wondering if this is something I should be wary of when trying to maximize ride height for my potential new ride.
  2. It's hard to tell from just pictures obviously, but the JCW aero kit looks like the front spoiler and side skirts might reach towards the ground a bit further than non-JCW ones. Is that true? If so, it looks like I'd be shelling out an additional ~$500 or so to install a non-JCW aero kit if I ended up lucky enough to score a good deal on a JCW (I know many of you would want my head for that last sentence).
P.S. I'm brand new to the forum and looking forward to contributing!

Quick update after doing a bit more searching myself... Looks like the sport suspension (JCW or otherwise) does give a 10mm drop.
