Ok, here are some pictures from when I picked up the car at the dealer.

On this car I got the sport suspension, and it's a great compromise. It's stiff enough to handle well, but isn't too harsh even on run-flats. It rolls noticeably less than the hardtops I have had, probably due to the lower CG. I'm not comparing it to my wife's Cooper Clubman, it's not fair.
I got the JCW pack which gets the electronic diff. I haven't really been able to test it yet, but it certainly digs in and goes out of the corners.
I haven't even pushed the sport button yet, but I totally love it.

I'm still being nice to it, so I can't comment on the limits, but overall I love it. My 2003 S had the "super sport" suspension and run-flats and rattled your fillings out. Because of that experience, I got the regular suspension on my 2007 S, which was noticeably softer but still had great grip on the summer tyres.

Thanks! I went with the sport suspension as well...felt perfect to me. Got the elec. diff as well, glad to hear you feel the difference. It's all about getting the power down right? By the way, does manual say not to use the sport button for the first 1200 mi.? Be sure and give that new motor a healthy dose of varied rpm(not over revved). From what I've read, that is the best break in. Enjoy

Chili Red JCW at the dealer
After putting in my order on Feb. 13 and tortuously following the process (WW Topeka did not post GPS readings across the Atlantic & was 2 days late, so much anxiety), finally got word today that it's at the dealer, pickup on Friday.
