Thanks I went to order it, expecting the 8 week lead time, but the dealership found one virtually identical to what I was going to order. Hopefully, it should be here in a few days.

I'm surprised they found a JCW. Those aren't sitting on many car lots.

Good for you.

Your going to love that car.

You know the car really does not exist until you post up pictures. Right now it's only a figment of your imagination and ours.

just ordered reef blue

after lurking here for a bit, gathering info (thanks for all the great posts and pics), I ordered a reef blue cooper S
a little nervous because I haven't seen this color IRL, but dealer had a cosmic blue Countryman that I loved, so I pulled the trigger
I've always had black cars, so making that subtle change to dark blue, I hope he's a looker
Just entered production, now the waiting.....


B30 Reef Blue Body Color
Packages
Cold Weather Package (love the heated seats)
Premium Package
Sport Package
Technology Package with Nav System
Black Headlamp Housings
Dash Surface in Piano

Ordered Friday 6th of April
Mini Owner's Lounge finally found my car Sunday morning.
On order and waiting for it to be scheduled for production.. stage
2012 Mini Cooper John Cooper Works Coupe

Couldnt get anything off the car (first time ever this happened hahaha).
The guy told me they are supposedly using their only JCW slot so no discount. He said he was willing to maybe take something off if I picked something off the lot but since I was building and ordering, no discount.
Kinda sounded weird but accepted and didn't argue.
Thought about maybe going to another dealer to build one couple miles away and maybe haggle a price.
Maybe I'll do that.
Sales guy told me even though I built and ordered specific car, I don't have to buy it if something happens. And $500 downpayment was fully refundable.
My current lease on a car still has 3 payments (july 10th last payment, august 10th return date) left so I'm not in a big hurry.
Still contemplating. Will see i guess.

anyways,
the specs are:


Model Description: JCW Coupe
Exterior: Pepper White paint
Interior: Carbon Black Leatherette

Factory Ordered Options:
Alloy wheels in black (challenger)
Multi function steering wheel
Black headlight housings
Roof and mirror caps in black
Interior surface Fluid silver
Color Line Carbon Black
Car jack
Retractable headlight washers
Xenon headlights
MINI Connected with Navigation
White turn signal lights
Black Sports Stripes
Cold Weather Package
Premium Package
Technology Package

Grand total of : $38,100

Welcome to all the new Coupe orderers and owners.

I have updated the roll call list in the first post and the Google spreadsheet to match. Please let me know if there are any corrections or additions.

I'll be picking up mine this week.

Spice Orange/Black JCW coupé with contrasting viper stripe, JCW suspension (it'll be a "we owe", since there are no parts in the US yet), various other options.

My wife will call it "Jack" ("o'Lantern"). I'll call it "my car".
