How many JCW were made in 2009?

Well I wondered about this too, so I asked Mini (MINI.Assistance@askMINIUSA.COM ). Here is their response:
But I also had heard from my local Mini dealership rep that he thought there were 1600 built... but who knows?
It is MINI's policy not to release sales, production, and import figures for MINI models. I apologize if this causes any inconvenience. We trust you will understand our position on this matter

seriously, can't be that many. Seems like only a certain number of JCW's are allocated to a dealership each month. The dealership i went to was only allowed 2 JCW's/month. Larger dealerships get more (obviously).
So it's not much. If the dealership doesn't sell the allocated JCW spot, the dealership creates their own set-up and sells it on their lot.

I read around 450
In the September 2008 issue of Modern Mini Magizine it says only 450 of the Factory JCW models will be produced for 2009. 1% of the total Mini production. There is only one other one I see in my area and it is owned by Red Bull. I,m sure they will make a lot more in 2010 but will they have the engines made in Germany or will they be massed produced in France. I guess we will wait and see what will happen.

A few months back MotoringFile.com posted the BMW stats for the entire company. Unfortunately for MINIs it only listed Justas and Ss. They did not break out the JCW numbers. Weird...
And for the record, I have yet to see another JCW of any bodystyle. Then again, we're not far from the edge of the known Universe...

Yeah, I had heard the 1,600 figure somewhere too, but 450 would make these downright scarce. The other JCW that I saw was actually a clubman that was right in front of me, though I've also seen a few S's with aftermarket JCW badges.
On a different note, ronnie948, it was interesting to see the scan of your sticker. It prompted me to have a look at mine, and I noticed that they were somewhat different. Aside from the California environmental performance scorecard on mine, I wonder why the MPG estimates are slightly different? Mine's a convertible, but that should, in theory, make it slightly less efficient. Also, note that the smog scores are different, and that mine doesn't have any crash ratings - just rollover. Mine was built in August, 2009.

Is there any way to tell the individual production numbers of our JCWs from the VIN? I understand they can tell all of the options from the VIN. But I didn't get the JCW VIN decoder ring with mine.
My window sticker is the same as Ronnie948, EXCEPT, my mileage has an average of 29mpg, which is higher than Ronnies, but my estimate fuel cost is $2,225 instead of $1,607. hmmm they must of know what kind of driver I was.
ALSO... instead of the standard smog emissions label, mine has an "Environmental Performance" Global Warming Score of 8 (out of 10 being cleanest) and a Smog Score of 4 (out of 10 being cleanest). The label states:

Vehicle emissions are the primary contributor to global warming and smog. Scores are based on the California Air Resources Board based on this vehicle's measured emissions.

I too would be interested to know, and then to also know how many Horizon Blue / Black factory JCW's were manufactured and sold in the USA. Sorta cool to think how unique it may be.

No clue how you would pry production numbers for the US out of BMW or MINI USA.

Those are Cooper S cars with a parts department package that consist of a canned tune ,jcw badges , overpriced mid pipeback and a airbox plus some type of offical paperwork stating that a canned tune,a badge and some other overpriced items have been installed on said cooper s .
#22
280 Hardtop JCW
62 Convertible JCW
110 Clubman JCW
Also interesting to note the 16 percent production volume reduction across the entire Mini line, more in hardtop and convertible. Hopefully with reduced production volume and flat or slightly increased demand due to cash/clunkers, the balance in demand vs. supply remains favorable for us.
However, I'll quickly say that investment isn't why I bought this car. It's simply a blast to drive, and perfect for my driving profile. Also, the fantastic community of enthusiasts that is part of ownership is a major plus for me as well.
Cheers

No 2009 Factory convertables.
I'm pretty sure that the convertable Factory JCW is a 2010 model. The 2009 Model year only produced Hatchback & Clubman Factory built JCW's. I know that they sold the JCW verts in 2009 but I'm pretty sure they were 2010 model Mini's.
I bought my Factory JCW in October of 2008 but it is a 2009 Mini Cooper JCW. So the convertable factory JCW should not be counted in with the 2009's.
The 2009 Regular and "S" convertables are different Mini's then the 2008's were.

Mine's a 2009 JCW convertible. While I bought it in December, it was actually built sometime in or before August. I have a "battery log form" dated August 25, 2009, and a dealer quality certification form dated September 14, 2009. They had it as a showroom model until I bought it a couple of months later. The real way to call it as a 2009, though is the fact that it's multi-function steering wheel came as a $250 option; they are standard on 2010s.
