Some time back in 2023, I had a random itch for a turbo petrol car that's fun and doesn't totally break the bank. Options were slim from the BMW stable as I didn't want to deal with N54 and 55 dramas...
I convinced myself (and the wife) that a Cooper JCW is what we need. I put out a wanted thread https://www.bmwfanatics.co.za/threads/f56-jcw.100275/#post-1522760 and it's been part of my search routine since. As things would have it, a Manual JCW turned out to be something of a rare sight, and I only ended up seeing about 3 since then on the market - each with their own issues or concerns...the search was rather slow, that I ended up purchasing the X3 30d instead, which was enjoyed for almost a year until being swapped with my Dad (after the F10 was sold).
This meant that the 330d no longer had a garage partner...but this did not last long !
As I still had my JCW Autotrader alerts active, after returning from a weekend away, on a late Sunday night, I decided to clear some emails, and there she was, waiting for me.
Called the ABM first thing in the morning to confirm the details (they certainly needed confirmation) viewed the car later that afternoon and the deal was done.
So here we go, an absolute unicorn of a find...
My NEW (well actually the Wife's) 2018 Mini Cooper JCW LCI1 Manual, finished in Moonwalk Grey Metallic with a shocking mileage of 9100 kms...9127kms to be precise on collection.
This JCW is as new as it could be, not a single scratch or dent in sight and a true 1 owner lady owner vehicle.
Its had 6 years under MP, with all services done (18 month intervals as per CBS), with roughly 2k kms between services. Its also had new front brake pads and spark plugs fitted at 7715 kms
Spec wise :
JCW Sport Seats
LED Headlights
HK Sound with Nav (touch screen)
Heads up Display
Gloss Black exterior trims
Pano Roof
Still can't believe this beauty is in my Garage, Need to get some proper pics, but have not had the chance to really drive the car as yet, but initial feedback is that it feels pretty exceptional.
Looking forward to the JCW Journey.
