So many people suggest you should never buy someone’s project car…
others say walk away from a car that’s been used on track…
in either case never ever pay more than than main dealer sticker price…

I ignored all 3 rules with my eyes wide open,
JCW manuals built after 2021 with HK are thin on the ground, in the UK, and I didn’t fancy the upcoming generation, so had been looking at used cars for a while to buy around now or very early in the start of 2025…

I purchased this car from a “performance shop” this was their project car used to demonstrate and develop new parts, too good a car to miss

How's the daily driving experience in a JCW? Currently debating whether I just go for it instead of a Cooper S.

 

I think your answer is to be found more in wheel and tyre selection, my car isn’t typical but with 17” and a 215/45/17 you can be happy with either.
