R58 MINI Coupe Roll Call

- JCW Aero Kit (front and rear aprons, side skirts, black grill with chrome surround, and functional front and rear brake ducts on turbocharged cars)
- 17" Challenge Spoke Wheels
- Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) w/ Electronic Differential Lock Control (EDLC)
- JCW Door Sills
- JCW Interior Accents (red stitching on the steering wheel, shift boot, and e-brake boot, and a shift **** with a red colored shift pattern on it)
By far the best bang-for-the-buck of any of the MINI options. The aero kit by itself, or the Challenge Spoke rims by themselves are worth the price of admission of the JCW Package. Let alone all the other goodies.

When you buy the JCW Package, the aero kit is painted and installed at the factory when your MINI is built. I believe that if you buy the areo kit as a separate JCW option, then it is painted and installed by either your dealer, or at the VDC (and is more expensive - and you don't get any of the other items that come with the JCW Package).

huh, ok.
I'm going for a test drive tomorrow in an "S" then will hopefully finalize my JCW option pckg. and get this baby ordered. I think Im going with the silver/red combo. It's a toss up between that or silver/black. Cold weather packg and the premium packg and I think I'm good. it's hard to believe this little car is $40k!

I wanted White Silver/Red as well, but it was only available on the JCW. Therefore, we went with White Silver/Black instead. I just couldn't get myself to buy a JCW as I didn't want to take a chance on the older N14 Prince engine again (after all the problems we had with that engine in our R56). The newer N18 Prince engine in the "S" was the driving force behind our purchase. Well, that and the fact that I wanted to keep the purchase under the $30k mark.

xcoupe here has a White Silver/Chili Red JCW Coupe.

Over time, I'll be upgrading things here & there, so much like my R53 MCS, my R58 MCS will likely end up performing like a JCW. Or maybe outperforming, depending on how much I decide to tinker with.

the JCW is available with silver/red, not the S. the price difference has me on the fence about which way to go, maybe just suck it up and go with the JCW with minimal options???? That way I get my silver/red, color, more HP, aero kit, big brakes and some other upgrades.
I'm thinking the silver wheels look better than black on the silver/red combo???

Ha! Thanks, but I'd never put vinyl on my Coupe's roof. From past experience, the stripes barely hold up to the California sun, let alone a vinyl roof. Besides that, I'm completely happy with the black roof now that we actually have the car. It looks great!

test drive
just test drove the coupe S auto, it was pretty quick. The manual trans car was on the showroom floor and I couldnt wait an hour for them to move it. I got on it pretty good, one thing I noticed is that it's way too quiet, can barely hear the exhaust although it did have that nice "burble" when you let off the gas. Now to decide on whether to go JCW or S.

On the Elektra too?
Whose car is on the Elektra? My car is on the Elektra. Baltimore ETA 11/18.
If there's a crackmonkey driving my truck from the VDC I might get it before Thanksgiving, but I'm not holding my breath. I'll be more than happy to put the Thanksgiving travel miles on my present car.

I think my coupe is on Elektra as well. It's just a guess because that was the only ship with dates that matched when my MA said it left the UK for Baltimore. I am excited for my coupe to arrive, but get a little teary eyed at the thought of letting go of my 2007 hardtop.
Congratulations to all of you that already have your coupes! I hope it goes quick for the rest of us!

YAY ANOTHER LAGUNA! That makes three of us, although you're the first with silver. Funny, because browsing the User's Gallery, nearly all of the LG Coupes I saw were with silver vs. black.
Actually it makes sense that you're on my boat, as I presume since LG is an oddball limited color, they'd be doing a whole batch together. I wonder how many other LGs our cars are partying with?

Thanks glennaa11!! I saw real (not config) pictures of a LG/B Cooper Hardtop and it was a sweet combo! I am sure your coupe will look even better than that You cant lose with either choice.
I found out that my new Mini is on the Independence II enroute to baltimore. Set to arrive on November 15th. That is 3 days sooner than I expected when I thought I was on the Elektra. Hip Hip Hooray!!
Has anyone seen the Mini Yours Soda leather seats? I ordered based on the pics because my dealer didn't have a sample. Fingers crossed! I definitely think I will have to stop eating in my car though :/
