Picked up my 2018 JCW yesterday after three grueling months (I "ordered" a 2017 in mid May, and everything was delayed several weeks due to the model year change over.) All the hiccups during the process became moot when I finally got to see it in person on Tuesday. Even after only putting 45 miles on it, all of the issues have become a distant memory. Excited for the tens of thousands of miles to come!

I was afraid it was going to clash with the white silver exterior (it looks absolutely stunning with black or blue paint job), but the black trim makes for a good buffer between inside and out. I'm always a huge fan of the two-tone interior, and that's what pushed me to the satellite grey. The gamble paid off big

Now all I need is wood trim and the great gauge design a fellow Clubber (ih8cornnuts) created:

It seems like I need to turn back on my email notifications when I get replies to a thread so that next time, it doesn't take me a year to respond.

Traded in!
So my lease was ending soon on my F55 and I just had a kid whose car seat was making things tight for my passenger (mom) so I decided to peruse my local MINI dealer to see about ordering a JCW F54, but lo and behold, I saw this guy at a VERY good discount I couldn't pass up. I had them take care of my remaining payments and drove off with my new S ALL4 Clubman. I had to make some concessions (I will miss my HUD, DDC, and leather seats...), but it made more financial sense. JCW next time
Coding done, but still lots I want to do with it, including stripes (on order), blacking out the head light/tail light rings, tint, de-chrome, and possibly either a roll bar or Dinan Elite tuner though my NM Eng tuning module is much happier with the AWD on my new MINI.
