When I bought this car from Mini of Escondido - who also sold it new - the ad said "own a piece of Mini History." I thought that was pretty typical dealerspeak at the time, but have since come to realize it was probably pretty accurate. So this last of the supercharged Minis simply appears to have every possible JCW option. Perhaps some Mini expert will see this and point out something it's lacking; I don't know. What I do know is it's really an incredible little car that is fun every single time you drive it and I'm going to be truly sorry to see it go. Honestly, when was the last time you've seen one like this? Totally stock with all JCW engine upgrades, JCW suspension, JCW exhaust, JCW 18" wheels, JCW carbon fiber interior, JCW floor mats, full aero package, English trim leather heated seats, Harman Kardon Stereo with dealer installed ipod connector, xenon headlights and auxiliary driving lights. All the stuff you want and none of the stuff you don't. I am the second owner and bought it in the spring of 2012 with just over 12,000 miles. I learned a few things about the original owner at that time and can safely say that the car has been adult driven only, by nonsmokers who consider it an obligation to take the best possible care of their vehicles. This has not been a primary car for either of us and was obviously not any kind of daily driver. I have receipts from Mini of Murray for a couple routine things including a fresh AC recharge a couple of weeks ago, but basically there aren't a lot of records because it hasn't needed anything. Here are the car's issues: It is missing the cover for the 12V outlet in the cargo area. The lid on the center console does not stay shut the way it's supposed to. I talked to the dealer and was told it was a weak design link that has since been resolved, but I wasn't annoyed enough by it to pay whatever they wanted for a new one. There is a slight ding / blemish on the top of the driver's side front fender. I tried to photograph it but wasn't too successful because it's not easy to notice. This didn't come out well in the photo either, but there is some fairly substantial paint chipping on the nose of the car. It would seem that I got behind a leaky gravel truck at some point. I'm fairly anal but was not bothered enough by it to have it redone. It had the original P-Zero run flats when I took over and I replaced them with a set of wider, lower profile BFG G-force tires, which are much stickier and have about 6000 miles on them. I still have the Pirellis and they are included, as are the manuals in the leather cover and two remote keys. I haven't been able to find the valet key, but if I do it's all yours. If you haven't driven one of these, it's probably quicker than you'd imagine and the handling is very precise. I believe it was supposed to have 214HP when new and it doesn't feel like it's lost much. It commands respect and attention from the driver; the rewards definitely being worth it. You can absolutely improve your skills with this car and have a great time along the way. Personally, it's made me develop such a taste for go-kart like characteristics that I'm moving into a Lotus. So there you have it - If you've been waiting for a hot JCW that hasn't been trashed it would seem like you'd want to consider this one pretty carefully. From what I've seen, you could wait a very long time for another one like this to come along, so happy bidding. I want to be involved as little as possible in shipping, but will try to assist and be helpful as necessary. It's location is 84103. I'm open to various payment options, but please let's have it ready and keep it simple. The title is clear and in hand. Thanks for your time and good luck.

2016 Mini Cooper S Convertible First Drive
Fri, Feb 19 2016Is there a better place to launch a roofless Mini than Los Angeles in the middle of winter? Temperatures during the drive event for the new 2016 Mini Cooper S Convertible hovered in the mid-80s, and (a begrudging thanks to CARB here) there was only a thin haze to attenuate the sun. Moreover, the sprawled-out and uniquely Californian metropolis doesn't seem to hem in the longer, broader, ever so slightly taller Convertible. Even if you don't necessarily enjoy vehicles that inherently make a statement, driving a Cooper S Convertible around this style-conscious town at least attunes your sensibilities to the Mini norm. Since there isn't much mechanically or stylistically to differentiate the new Convertible from its Hardtop fraternal twin, we can cover the basics quickly. The exterior sheetmetal is, for better or worse, not much different. That means the large proboscis – a nod to pedestrian impact standards and a variety of other engineering and safety concerns – and longer rear overhang carry over. The jutting underbite and slightly walleyed headlight stance exaggerate how bulbous the front end has become with each subsequent generation. Taken in isolation, the Mini Convertible is still undeniably cute, but the English bulldog vibe is slowly being pushed out of the corporate design language as each new Mini is gently inflated. At some point, we'll hit the bursting point. The Mini Convertible is still undeniably cute, but the English bulldog vibe is slowly being pushed out of the corporate design language. Even in the space-compromised Mini Convertible, total cargo area increases by 25 percent to a useful 7.6 cubic feet maximum. The Easy-Load function, which props up the back edge of the soft top on a pair of spindly plastic struts, is a bit fussy but helps get awkward items in and out of the surprisingly deep cargo area. Smaller or soft luggage should go in without issue. Larger items might be better suited for the back seat. If you're buying a four-seat convertible, you should be prepared for these compromises ahead of time. Speaking of time, the top's operation is reasonably quick. It takes 18 seconds to raise or lower the top, at up to 18 mph. It was fast enough for a stoplight change to test out the situation with the lid on. If you've ever been in a last-generation Mini 'Vert, it's about the same – big blind spots mar the view, but it's remarkably quiet.
Mini's matte Countryman Black Knight Edition rises
Wed, 16 Oct 2013Mini is certainly no stranger to a special edition, as unique option and styling packs have been a staple of the Mini line since its return to the US market, but it's next special trim is quite a big departure from previous cars. It's based on the Countryman, and is called the Black Knight Edition.
As you cans see from the image up top, it'll sport a sinister, matte-black paint scheme, making this Mini not unlike BMW's range of Frozen Edition cars. First reported on by those Mini-obsessed folks at MotoringFile, the Black Knight Edition Countryman will be limited to 60 units, and will be offered on a first-come, first-serve basis, making this car quite a bit different from previous special editions, which generally stuck around for a full model year.
According to MF, the matte finish will only be available on the Cooper S Countryman, although oddly, one of the teaser images shows a John Cooper Works badge. BKE models should be coming nearly loaded, which means that there's not a lot of customization done and the price tag is probably going to be exorbitant for a Mini. Buyers will, though, have the choice of front- or all-wheel drive and a choice of six-speed manual or six-speed automatic.
Mini John Cooper Works Convertible gets a belated show debut
Thu, Mar 24 2016Mini originally introduced the new John Cooper Works Convertible way back in January. But since the German-owned British outfit wasn't attending the Detroit Auto Show, we were stuck waiting to see it until today at the 2016 New York Auto Show. The JCW Convertible is something of an anomaly, lacking any real competitors, but that doesn't make it any less enticing. Like the standard JCW Hardtop, the 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder is good for 228 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque. The cab will hit 60 in 6.4 seconds, which is slower than perhaps its closest competitor, the Mazda MX-5. The trade off here, of course, is a lot more space, style, and optional extras than the cozy MX-5. Mini's hugely diverse options catalog is present and accounted for with the JCW Convertible, giving interested consumers a degree of customization that every automaker short of Porsche and hand-built exotic brands will have trouble matching. Of course, it comes with a frankly absurd sticker price – Mini's top-end droptop starts at $36,450, including the $850 destination charge. That figure swells fast. Expect at least $40,000 for a decently equipped example. You can play with the JCW Convertible's configurator, or just check out our first round of live images of Mini's latest high-performance model.
