I hope you got the N18 engine for peace of mind.

It is the N14. I have a new Jeep Wrangler to daily drive anyway.

Thanks

I knew the JCW comes with different seats in the F56 (G3) model but I wasn't aware they were different for our cars. What's the diff between your seats and the MCS sport seats (I don't have the JCW seats, I have the Recaros)?

For 2013, The JCW Coupe seats were carbon black checkered fabric with red stitching to match the steering wheel instead of plain vinyl as in the S model.

The fabric material improves comfort in hot and cold weather conditions.

Hope you like your Recaros. The headrest and back adjustment were horrible when I drove one.

There's no adjustable lumbar support but I never used that in my 2007 MCS. The headrest is part of the seatback of course. Alcantara leather surface and they're heated. I love em. But they were a $2700 option, so no wonder they aren't offered on the F56 cars lol.
