Last of the Supercharged Official 100
 
1 Attachment(s)
As we all know this year is the last year we will have the Mighty Supercharged engine, and this July will be the last production month for the convertible R52, and to celebrate MINI will have a run of 100 Convertible S in Astro Black, Black Panther English Leather (Lounge w/white),JCW Pkg. Black Top Black Wheels and the Sidewalk Pkg.

I am not sure of price or how many per dealer...more to come.

That would make a great grill badge.

I am one of the last albeit it not AB, JCW etc.

just placed my deposit on the limited farewell edition of the R52 - there seems to be very little information other than there wilkl be only 100 made and the info above about triple black w/JCW. I don't even know the price but as of this morning my order is in! My dealer says it will produce during July and that I should receive it in August.

Should be around $36,550 as configure w/out RFL or Chrono pkg.

Be sure to throw an LSD on that -- and you have the ultimate R52 farewell celebration.

PlayPlay 06-30-2008 04:20 AM

If it is JCW then wouldn't it come with an LSD?

eager2own 06-30-2008 06:05 AM


Yep, LSD is in.

I was at our local dealer a week ago & the MA I talked with said they had just ordered the last R52 they were able to. From the sounds of what he told me it's going to be the ultra rare kitchen sink-huge dealer profit model.:nod:

Kind of sad thinking that soon there'll be no more new supercharged MINI's.:sad:

shutterblade 06-30-2008 11:45 AM

Does anyone know the exact spec of all the options for this MINI? If so, please post.

Thanks!

Can someone make it? That would be cool for '06 R53's also...

2008 MINI Convertible
Astro Black
Sidewalk Pkg.
JCW Pkg.
Black English Lounge Leather
Black Top

Not sure if it will have a Rear Fog Lamp, knowing MINI and they special editions will not come spec with one, and the Chrono Pkg will probably will not be on from the get go.

It should be price at the MSRP, will be up to the dealer to have a extra charge.

Regarding the badge will be silly to have the last supercharge badge if you do not own one of the 100, but thats just me...:)

Crashton 06-30-2008 03:25 PM

I'd love one of those silly badges, but thats just me...:)

I hope no one thinks that one of the last 100 R52 convertibles will be worth any more that any other R52 in similar condition. Well on second thought maybe in 40 years or so it will be.:wink:

Definitely true. I was just (mis) (or wishfully) interpreting it as last of the supercharged coupes with respect to the R53 before the R56. But, as you mention, that's not really the intent of the badge.

In any event, the badge looks really cool!

diablito 07-08-2008 05:23 PM

Seems each dealer on the east coast is getting ONE of the Last 100. Official price $36,550.00

Not sure if we will be able to reconfigure, probably not, otherwise will not be one of the Last 100 build...sameness??.......Umm :wink:

Me too - mine was one of the last tin-top MCS's made (11/06) so it almost kinda sorta counts...

PlayPlay 07-17-2008 07:23 PM

so no pics of it anywhere?
