Thank you for considering my 2012 John Cooper Works MINI Coupe, the top of the line 208 HP coupe with a factory-modified turbocharged engine, JCW suspension, larger JCW wheels and tires, JCW four-wheel drilled Brembo brakes, JCW dual exhaust, JCW Sport and Performance and Cold Weather Packages, JCW badging and much, much more. Please do not compare my little go cart with the basic non-turbo Cooper coupe (168 HP/15 inch wheels) or the (188 HP/16 inch wheels) Cooper S coupe. Do not confuse this vehicle with a MINI coupe that offers the John Cooper Works Aero Package but not the stuff that really matters.  I adore this car; it is as fast as the BMW M Roadster I owned a few years back, but the corners are where this coupe truly shines. MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension combine with anti-roll bars to give the MINI Coupe go-kart like handling. Silver White Metallic Paint with red racing stripes down the center, red top, 17-inch black wheels and Continental tires adorn this unique John Cooper Works coupe, and everything I just mentioned is in excellent (if not showroom) condition. No dents, dings, scratches or road rash...period. Every forward-facing body part is protected by Clear Bra, and I will never own another car that isn't. It has anti-lock brakes and 4-wheel drilled disc brakes, Dynamic Stability Control and every available performance and safety feature available from MINI except navigation. On the very rare occasions I use nav, I use the app on my phone. The Speed-sensitive electronic power steering is amplified in the Sport mode, as is the throttle response, so I drive almost exclusively in that mode...unless I am road-tripping and getting 38-39 miles per gallon at 65 miles per hour! This is the most unique, fun and best-engineered sports car I have ever owned. Better than my 2006 Honda S2000, my 2005 Nissan 350Z, my 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera, my 2002 BMW M Roadster, my 2006 BMW M Roadster or my original (first one sold in Utah) 2002 MINI Cooper S. This rare coupe has a little less that 25k miles and will enjoy free Mini Service through May of 2015 and full factory bumper-to-bumper warranty through May of 2016. I have included an exhaustive list of features and options below, but feel free to call me with any questions or comments. There are no/zero surprises with this car, so bid with confidence. Under some circumstances, I may be able to deliver the car to you.

In response to a couple of questions I received about the VIN check showing 3 previous owners, please disregard that information. The VIN check is counting the dealership where I bought the car as the second owner, which can't be true since they never titled the coupe while it was in their possession and only put about 20 miles on it while they were in possession of it. If the number of owners was correct, the score on this car would be 97 instead of 94. Sorry about the confusion, but I am the second owner. You would be the third owner and, when the car is titled, the number of certified owners would be correct.

Be advised that I previously listed this vehicle on ebay, but that deal didn't work out. This is a new posting with a lower price.

Thanks,

Mike

John Cooper Works Mini rolls into Detroit, asks 'GTI who?'

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Mini marched into the 2015 Detroit Auto Show and introduced its very own competitor to the Volkswagen GTI with new John Cooper Works Hardtop. Blessed with 228 horsepower and 236 pound-feet from its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, the new JCW should provide a more thrilling drive than the standard Cooper S (not that the 189-hp model lacked in terms of entertainment value). The 6.4-second sprint to 60 falls to 6.1 in the JCW, while owners should expect an even more agile handling experience courtesy of an uprated version of the Cooper S' sports suspension. Upgraded Brembo brakes, larger wheels and stickier tires and an electronic differential round out the performance upgrades, although Mini also paid significant attention to the aesthetics. A revised aero kit doesn't do the third-generation Works car many favors in the appearance department, but as both driver and front passengers will find themselves in a set of exclusive JCW sports seats, they'll probably be too comfortable and supportive to care. A JCW steering wheel, shift lever, door sills and instrument cluster tweaks mark the extent of the interior updates. Take a look at our full live gallery of images of the new JCW Mini direct from the floor of the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. The new MINI John Cooper Works. 10.12.2014 - Green light for the latest edition of the top athlete in the small car segment; the new MINI John Cooper Works combines authentic race feeling with the premium characteristics and extended product substance of the latest MINI Generation; distinctive, tradition-steeped, based on a vehicle concept combining MINI and John Cooper Works, with performance qualities which are exceptional within the competitive environment. - Extreme driving fun and exclusive charisma based on technology for engine, suspension and aerodynamics derived directly from motor racing as well as model-specific design features for the exterior and interior; greater differentiation from the MINI 3 door highlights the model's individual character.

Longer, wider, still a Mini | 2017 Mini Countryman First Drive

Fri, Mar 17 2017

Think of the 2017 Mini Countryman as the brand's "ah, to hell with it" moment. At a whopping 8.1 inches longer and 5.4 inches wider than the vehicle it replaces, it is quite obviously the least-mini Mini ever. Yet, that size increase makes it more useful, comfortable riding, and better proportioned. If a compact crossover SUV is what's to be, then this is the size it should be. However, it's still quite mini for a compact SUV, coming in at 3 inches shorter than the Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class and 4 inches shorter than an Audi Q3. Neither of those are what anyone would describe as "large." And yet, the Countryman boasts a considerably more spacious and usable interior than either of them. Sit in the new Countryman's back seat and you'll be amazed at the space, with plenty of leg- and headroom for even tall people despite a standard panoramic sunroof. Crossovers of similar exterior dimensions, luxury or otherwise, just don't come close to providing as much passenger space. The cargo area isn't quite as impressive on paper, but its boxy shape and the sliding second-row seat make it far more versatile in practice. So, despite being the least-mini Mini ever, the new Countryman is still in keeping with the brand's ethos from the very beginning when Alec Issigonis created a car that was microscopic on the outside but disproportionately spacious inside. There's far more to this redesign than just dimensional changes – the 2017 Countryman grows up figuratively as well. The original model always felt like a Mini Cooper hardtop that ballooned in size and door count. Compared to SUVs of similar price, and more damningly of lesser price, it was crashy, loud, a bit cheap inside, and relatively uncouth. The base model was also embarrassingly slow. The new version feels more like a proper compact luxury SUV flavored with a robust Salt Bae of Mini spice. Actually, that's pretty much what it is. The Countryman now shares its front-wheel-drive platform with the new BMW X1, which itself benefits from various trickle-down elements from elsewhere in the BMW Group. For instance, processes developed for the 7 Series are in part responsible for the new, stiffer structure that contributes greatly to the 2017 Countryman's other great advancement: the exponentially better ride. The old one harshly crashed over bumps in a way that only Fred Flintstone wouldn't find tiresome.

Mini JCW Convertible spied looking cold

Fri, Mar 13 2015

The Mini Convertible John Cooper Works has stripped off almost all of the camo it was wearing when we last saw it a few months back. There's not much left to the imagination anymore, and all that remains are some swirls to hide a little of the hood and rear. As expected, the entire front end, rear bumper, central exhausts and subtly flared wheel arches come directly from the JCW take on the two-door Hardtop. Except for the Convertible's repositioned antenna and lowering top, the two models are essentially the same on the outside. With the standard, third-gen Mini droptop not actually unveiled yet, all of the camouflage at the back is likely there to hide the way the roof folds down. Under the hood, expect the latest JCW 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder producing 228 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque with a choice of six-speed manual or automatic gearboxes. Of course, the Convertible also adds the thrill of tipping the throttle with the top down. Mini hasn't hinted at a reveal date for the latest Convertible yet. However, these shots suggest development is at a fairly advanced state, so an official debut is likely not too far off. Related Video:
