Traded 2010 R55 for 2014 R55

I recently decided to trade my 2010 Clubman S with 128,000 for a "new" 2014 Clubman S leftover with just 56 miles. While I find appeal in the F56 and the F55, I decided that the Clubman S is just right for me. As I compare the 2010 model (Clubman S) with the 2014 model (Clubman S), it appears that the newer model is just slightly lower. Is that possible?

Maybe you just have different wheels and appears to be lower ? Unless someone installed a lowering kit or coilovers on it. Post some pics.

Thank you - no lowering kit or coilovers. The 2014 R55 has ContiProContact 95/55 R16 87V (runflats) and the 2010 R55 had ContiProContact P195 55R 16 (non-runflats).

To my eye, the wheel wells appear to have slightly less space. If it is lower, it could be fractions of an inch. But, it is enough to make the car look better.

Congrats on the upgrade, now you can plug & play the JB+ for 20 more horsepower.

As a new Mini owner, I'm still learning, what the JB+?

How do you compare and like your new 2014 Cubby S? I'm thinking of picking one too.
