why not up the displacement to at least a 2.0?

If it had a 2.4 in it it would be a torque monster. especially if mini ever made an awd similar to an evo drivetrain

Thanks for the info Gabe. Look forward to Monday’s Q+A.

No change in skirts or front bumper? WTF? Keep the JCW logos and sill plates, and trade them for at least the better looking front bumper.

I hope they've addressed the FRIGHTENING start-up noise in cold weather.

This is sounding like a botched release. Oh well ... who else wants my $30k?

Looking forward to Monday to get more info Gabe. Thanks for taking the time to clear some things up.

I hope you can get the factory JCW without the factory clutchpack LSD! The factory LSD is a “bad acid trip” for steering feel around town.

Options dissapeared from the original post? No LSD? What say you Gabe?

Original info we got said it was to be standard. Since then we've heard otherwise. Until it's confirmed I've pulled it out. Rather have people pleasantly surprised than upset.

BTW I'll be creating a huge JCW Q&A story for Monday that will try to answer a bunch of the questions in comments above.

To all GP defenders, let me first state that I am a born again R53 owner after buying a stage one R53 triple JCW(for sale!). I just had extensive mods done today!

I understand what the GP is about, however, the truth is that a stage one is faster than a GP. Stage two will leave it in the dust.

On the track? I have the JCW suspension which is great and with a rear sway bar added my guess is the handling is every bit as good or better than a GP.

I'm just being objective. In my heart, I'd rather have a GP than the stage two (as long as I had some mirror covers!!!!!).

While I’m excited about what MINI is doing with the factory JCW, it doesn’t seem inline with trying to make it like an M car where it is a full package (body kit, engine, suspension, etc.). I know previously this was mentioned as BMW’s direction.

I say that it would have been a better car if they would have added the JCW suspension, JCW aero kit along with the LSD and DSC. Even though its not quite the car I have been waiting for it is still a good step forward for JCW. First offering with more to come I am sure.

oops, maybe not. I looked at a cached version of the article and it said cat back (still showed the lsd and dsc)
