It is different – as mentioned above in the story.

My understanding was there was the “regular” suspension and the “sports” suspension on the S, and that there was no “Sports Plus.” Accurate?

Yes – There was a typo on the official options sheet.

In the US, there is a package called “Hyper Sport” that comes with the Aero Kit and Sport Suspension (plus?).

Some have heard this Aero Kit is the same as the JCW kit. OThers have heard it’s a new, seperate one (as yet unseen). Does anyone here (Gabe?) have more information on it, or maybe a friendly neighborhood dealer they can ask?

Hyper-Sport (ZHS) $1,400 (3/1/07): Aero kit, Sport suspension plus

ala Carte: Aerodynamic Kit (3/1/07) $1300/ZHS

The other question, of course, is, if the S already has the upgraded “Sports Suspension”, why spend the addtional $100 on the package when all you’re going to get is the Aero Kit?

My understanding was there was the “regular” suspension and the “sports” suspension on the S, and that there was no “Sports Plus.” Accurate?

On the U.S. “2007 Ordering Guide Distribution” PDF, in the packages list, the Hyper Sport package lists parts 7AR as the Aero Kit and 226 as “sport suspension plus”. However, if one goes to the ala carte parts list, the Aero Kit retains its name and number, and part 226 is simply called “sports suspension.”

Any light anyone can shed on this would be appreciated.

Are those upcoming JCW seats priced and have folks seen or tried these in a previous gen mini? Torn between those seats (assuming only available in black leather? price??) and the Redwood Red Lounge Leather (photos look maroon, not baseball orange-that's a real concern if we won't see these until we receive an ordered car). We're looking forward to the JCW Aero kit and hope we can do that on a first round delivery.</p> As always guys, thank you.
