Talk about options on the 07 though huh?, when you click on the Mini configurator it tells you there are 10 million configurations! I just built a 2007 Cooper S with all the carbon fiber JCW goodies on the Mini USA site and it came out to almost $34K I sold my 03 MCS and have 2 cars now, so I'm not planning on buying a new MINI for at least 3 years, but if this is a taste of things to come, I'm getting excited!! What will the JCW engine packages make for power 250+ hp? Will there be an '08 0r '09 works GP? AWD Mini in the future? This new turbo engine is just BEGGING to be mated to an AWD system, anyone have thoughts/insight on this?

 

Please don't tease us like this. AWD, 250+HP? That would be a dream come true.

 

Are there any rumors of what HP the JCW's are going to pumping out?

 

I heard 580 hp on regular pump gas. Pilot's license and instrument rating required.

 

In light of this I find it strange that I wound up picking the same five or six individual options (no packages) for my new Cooper as I did for my '03. Must be a thing...

 

And only 120hp, I'll bet the top end is no more than 125....how will you cope with that?
