Fact. The wait list at dealers charging only MSRP for MCS varies from 3-6month. This is down from 8-12month.

Also yes JCW seems overpriced to some but to many the performance increase as well as keeping the warranty intact is well worth the money.


fact.. I was at the Mini dealer wed.
Fact.. I was told from the day I ordered it I'd have it 2-3 months later. Not 11 months.
Fact.. the mini dealer I went to was not negotiating on anyhitng.
your JCW "fact" is not a fact but opinion. I feel the small perfomance gain for the excessive amount of money is not worth it.

well no shit! from the day your ordered it.

did you ask him/her if you can place that order that day? I did say that was wayy back when I was on the wait list. 6 months wait is pretty common these days.

and the smoother torque curve is part about the JCW is not an opinion.
