The R65 JCW seats shown in promotional pics are the Recaro Sportster CS with an airbag module bolted to the outer shell. That works for me.

If you check motoring file previous features you will discover that JCW seats may be offered at some later date. There are airbag issues to overcome. Perhaps they will be available when MINI releases their JCW edition?

Any clues on whether the JCW seats will be available in the US?

Would this include the gravity leather too? If so, I see some beige in my future…

The configurator still shows the seats with the flat bottom. :( Hopefully that will be changed soon.

Thank goodness we get the center bolster! The seats look much more sporting with it there, just like some of BMW’s //M seats. Bravo MINI!

I wish it were the other way around (speaking as someone who really likes the Lounge leather).

Well if your going to be wrong, be wrong in a good way I guess. Good to hear we are not being short changed. This woudn’t have anything to do with being a bigger sales market would it?
