I took me a while to find this extraordinarily well optioned JCW Clubman and hope to sell the vehicle to another enthusiast. The vehicle is still covered under a transferable MINI XXL factory warranty until 2/10/2019 or 100k in addition to a factory extended maintenance package good until 2/10/2018 or 100k. The original cost for these service packages was in excess of $6000 and gives the car similar coverage as a newly purchased MINI. It's an incredible peace of mind knowing that any issues or recommended service items for this car are covered for the next ~2yrs. The XXL factory warranty was the most comprehensive extended warranty offered from MINI at the time and comes with a minimal $50 deductible. I've included links at the bottom of the ad that give a detailed breakdown of what is covered under both of these service packages.

I am the second owner the car having purchased it just over 1 year ago from a NAM member. The car has been exclusively dealer serviced at Stevens Creek MINI where the car was originally purchased and San Francisco MINI. I have extensive service records including all paperwork, purchase agreements, and transfer of coverage forms for the warranty. The car has been a garaged California car since new and has never been involved in any sort of accident. I have the clean and clear California title in hand.

It would be difficult to find a more heavily optioned Clubman. The original window sticker was $42,250 before some very expensive "factory" options were added after the initial purchase. These include extremely rare factory leather "Euro Recaro" JCW seats. These seats were not an option in the US market and cost over $4k in parts and shipping alone. The factory audio system has also been upgrade with both Integral soundstage speakers and sub woofer. The parts alone costing over $2k. This high-end audio system was specifically designed for the R55 and works seamlessly with the stock SatNav head unit. The sub is hidden under the trunk floor. It sounds fantastic, here is more info on this system: https://www.integralaudio.com/index....ubman-r55.html

A few additional tasteful modifications have been made:
- Shortly after purchase the stock front bumper was replaced with a factory Aero bumper with documented work performed by BMW/MINI of Concord (the Aero bumper would later become a standard option on all JCW's post 2012). (There's an old NAM marketplace listing floating around from the 1st owner selling the original bumper)
- License plate holder for the Aero front bumper
- Minor re-coding -- no Satnav startup warning, windows up/down during locking/unlocking, high beam/fog light override, etc.
- Satin black Motegi MR125's wheels w/ Bridgestone Ponteza's S04s
- Shift indicator light
- A few other minor changes to lighting, etc

Factory options include:
- Midnight Black Metallic: $500
- Leather Lounge Championship Red (seats): $2,000
- Cold Weather Package: $750
- Premium Package: $1,750
- Technology Packages: $2,000
- MINI Connected w/ Navigation: $750
- Rear Spoiler: $250
- Chrome-line exterior trim: $250
- Black Headlight housing: $100
- JCW Bonnet stripes: $100
- Dual Panoramic Sunroof: $1000
- Xenon headlights: $500
- Rear fog lamp: $100
- White turn signals: $100

The car is in excellent condition with only minor imperfections expected for a vehicle of this age and mileage (mostly highway miles btw). A brand new clutch and dual mass flywheel where install less than 500 miles ago at MINI of Stevens Creek! The clutch was not slipping/grinding, etc but was letting off high and replaced as a preventative measure. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the car and even if there was...it'd be covered under warranty. This was an earlier build 2012 with the N14 engine. The tires (more specifically the front tires) have about 5k miles left. Given that tires are such a personal choice for a car such as this I'll let the next owner decide what new shoes to buy. I am asking for KBB private party value for the car which does not factor in any of the aftermarket parts or perhaps more importantly the comprehensive warranty and service coverage. I'm not particularity interested in parting out the Sub or Recaro's at this time.

I'm selling the car due to an upcoming career move that is taking the whole family to Idaho. Unfortunately the closest MINI dealer to Idaho is a +500 mile round trip trek to Utah making the comprehensive warranty/maintenance all but useless. This coupled with less than ideal winter weather and an unknown garage status, at least initially is my reasoning for selling. The car is currently located in Woodside CA, ~30 minutes south of San Francisco. I have already leased a replacement vehicle so mileage on this one will remain constant. I am happy to take additional photos or answer any questions.

***SOLD*** Thanks NAM

 

Yeah it is Thanks, Tom!

Made it safely back home after an amazing drive up the PCH, now parked up next to its little brother until the GP finds a new home.

 

Congratulations on both the sale and the acquisition.

NICE, nice Clubman!

 

They look so happy together -- are you sure you need to sell the GP? Glad the trip back north was enjoyable. Don't hesitate to contact me if I missed signing anything, etc.

 

Just checking,

Is your car still on the market?
