Congrats man...I was told by MA that someone here in Ft Myers has ordered one. I would like to but only having mine for 6 months, I would take a nice shot. Don't really want to do that.
We have one guy running around Ft Myers telling everyone he has a JCW. He has the badges but the only thing he has is the tune and the wheels. He tried telling me one day that it's a true JCW and I just laughed at him!!!

I wrestled with putting JCW badges on my current car (I actually ordered two) when it was at peak HP/TQ with everything... but it's just not right. Still have them sitting here.
It kind of spits on the true JCW brand (which really is its own beast) - I've learned over the years to enjoy what you have for what it is.
Also, you can normally spot it from a mile away. I always enjoy seeing people put the ///M logo on a normal BMW.

Have to say that after reading that just now, it doesn't seem negative at all!
Remember that I'm going to be adding another ~80ft/lb once it's all said and done to the stock 221 (w/ OB) as it is. So that takes care of the "slow" factor.
The suspension may need to be tweaked, as well. But at the end of the day, it's still a capable AWD snow vehicle, whereas a Golf R and similar are not. I do feel sorry for anybody who goes with the 19" wheels, though!
After driving this one for 2 years, I kind of get a feeling of what I'm getting back into, and I'm going in eyes-wide-open.

BEAUTIFUL, my friend! Really like the look of that.
Since we're going to be on the same N18 platform with a slight turbo difference, it will really be about the same mod-wise. A little different with tuning, and you'll need an FMIC for sure since it will undoubtedly ship with the tiny little one.

Golf R is AWD. It's really the only reason to get one over a GTI.

I created that image using the UK configurator. When I use the USA configurator, it will not let me add black sport stripes with the red roof. That must be an error because it will let me add white stripes to white paint, which makes no sense.
Also, in the US, it seems like the side stripes are included, but they are not added to the image using the UK configurator. Who knows what will show up. :-)
