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.

Mini Clubman Bond Street inspired by London shopping
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Mini again plucks a London landmark as the appellation for a special edition, the Mini Clubman Bond Street joining the Mayfair and Camden, and Bayswater and Baker Street editions of the recent past. You'll recognize the formula of primary color and polished contrasting color, in this case its Midnight Black Metallic for the main event and Cool Champagne for the highlights like the roof, mirror caps and trim rings on the 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside it's Carbon Black leather set off by surfaces in Deep Champagne and the Chrome Line package.
It will premiere at the Geneva Motor Show in March before going into production for a limited run that same month. Four engines will be offered, with on-the-road prices ranging from 20,275 pounds ($31,961 US) in the UK for the 122-horsepower gas engine to 24,045 pounds ($37,918 US) for the 143-horsepower SD diesel version. A press release below will tell you all you wish to know.
First Mini John Cooper Works prototype spied
Fri, 14 Feb 2014The highlight of Mini's 2014 Detroit Auto Show stand was the arrival of the John Cooper Works Concept, a sportier version of the three-door hatch that presages the next JCW model on the new platform. Now, we have our first images of the production car undergoing winter testing way up north in Sweden.
Really, the Mini camouflage can't hide what this car is. Between the JCW-branded brake calipers and extra intakes in the front fascia, it's fairly easy to see that this is the sportier version of the car our own Jeremy Korzeniewski wrote about last week. We're expecting the JCW variant to pack a fair bit more firepower than the three-cylinder Cooper he tested, of course. Rumors have circulated that the hottest Mini model could jump to 230 horsepower, up from the current, non-GP car's 208.
There are a number of style features missing here, and while it's entirely possible we'll see things like the JCW Concept's diffuser and side gills arrive when this car is shown in production form (or even further along in testing), their absence in these spy photos is telling. We certainly think this car will become the production JCW Hardtop, but there may be another explanation. The lack of certain aesthetic features means this could be a test of the JCW Engine Kit, which in past Minis slotted in between the standard Mini Cooper S and the factory Works car. We'll admit, it's a long-shot, but there is precedent for it - the JCW Tuning Kit arrived a year before the factory model in the last-generation car. The same reasoning could be used to explain the presence of the JCW-branded brakes, which have been another well-known Mini accessory over the years.
Magna Steyr to assemble as many as 70,000 BMW 5 Series models yearly
Mon, Jul 13 2015Soon, not all BMW 5 Series models will be assembled by BMW. Yes, we know that sounds strange, but it's not at all uncommon. For instance, the Mini Paceman and Countryman hatchbacks – and remember, the Mini brand is owned by BMW – are assembled in Graz, Austria, by Magna Steyr, a company that specializes in building cars for other automakers. Soon, though, the contract Mini has with Magna Steyr will be coming to an end, and that means the Austrian company will have excess capacity on its hands. That production capacity will be filled soon enough, however, by BMW 5 Series models, according to a report from Automobil Produktion in Germany. Magna Steyr will build between 50,000 and 70,000 of BMW's mid-level model, according to the report, but there's no indication of which 5 Series model or models (and there are many shapes and sizes to choose...) will be moved to Austria from BMW's plant in Dingolfing in southern Germany. With 373,053 units sold in 2014, the 5 Series is BMW's second-most-popular model, after the 3 Series. BMW told Automotive News Europe that it doesn't comment on those kinds of reports, which, as is usually the case, is neither confirmation nor denial. It's worth noting that the two-door Mini Paceman isn't a part of the brand's plans moving past 2015, though the Countryman soft-roader that currently stands as the largest member of the automaker's family will soldier on.
