JCW Coupe vs BMW M1
A couple weeks ago from MotoringFile: http://www.motoringfile.com/2012/06/...eries-m-coupe/
In a nutshell the $17k more expensive M1 beat the Coupe in about every category (DOH), and they said it's the best driving BMW in 20 years (which is a lot of cars), trounces the M3. But at 500 lbs lighter the Couple was superb in changing directions, which Mini has always excelled at. I kind of wish I had a track I could drive mine on.

Well, the JCW is not a refined car about engineering. It is still "British" and basic but has some qualities. BMW knows it is a sub value to their portfolio.
