...heard some rumors concerning an "official" tuning from BMW for the S... The dealer was speaking of an even 200 hp... Just in case anybody has the same allucination...

 

I saw an article in a european car magazine that discussed the possibility of a V6 205 HP version of the Cooper that BMW was considering down the road. The article even included drawings of the proposed version. It looked very aggressive with wider fenders to accomodate the larger wheels and tires and included a V6 badge on the grille. I wish I could tell you what magazine it was in, but I only saw the article!

My dealer said they were getting or upgrading a CooperS this fall. The official 200hp cooper S will be the John Cooper works convertion. In North America, I believe you will have to get the upgrade done at your dealer you won't be able to order them as a factory option(much like the aerokits).

 

If the dealer does it and there is a warantee, I'm absolutely going to do this! I'm psyched!

Yes the John Cooper coversion instoled by the dealer or John Cooper Works are indeed under warrenty from BMW. But it will not be in the US till this fall. I have no cleu if it is ectually any serious up grate. It is said to be!!!! I'm saving my money to get it done in England by John Cooper Works.

 

This news is SUPURB!!!
I wonder what it involves?? Yeeeppi!!!

 

Before the S came around, John Cooper Works did a Works version of the Cooper that boosted it to 132hp. I wonder if that version will also be available?

 

But if the MCS starts to become standard with the Works upgrade, what will this do to the cost?
