Certainly helped make the rear end feel more together imo, that tied with eibach lowering springs worked quite nicely as a cheaper alternative to coilovers

Tha k you for that video my friend. Im just starting g my JCW journey! Right now...I'm in love with mine... but already noticed a few of the niggles you mentioned! Haha every car has its quirks at end of day. All I know is the cockpit of any mini is just a nice place to be and holy hell are they some fun. I haven't seen a single video where the JCW fails to cause a huge smile when it's floored!

I just bought a used 120d F40 while I can - before the uglier 2025 1er takes over. I was contemplating between a mini and a 1er - and I do agree with what you said, it's a nicer Mini. It just makes more sense. I got a decent deal on the used 120d with around 30k miles on it & fairly well speced from the local BMW used cars showroom. Handling is great - especially with the xdrive and 8-speed ZF gearbox. Fun and yet economical. I had to get a smaller second car - glad I got this. I have an Audi Q5 as well. The Beamer is soo much fun to drive compared to my Q5 - which feels like steering a ship in comparison.

We have a 2024 Cooper S. Dislikes: #1) We also have several other sports cars. Our other sports cars can show you oil temp, oil pressure, water temp, and alternator voltage right in front of you on the dash, at all times. MINI is severely lacking in driver information. #2) I don't like that when you raise or lower the steering wheel the tach and the speedo move with it. #3) The Cooper S should come with the current JCW level of horsepower and the JCW should be at an appropriate level above that. For the amount you pay for a Cooper S or JCW, the horsepower is very expensive.

Run flats are proper shite. I’ve had 2 punctures and we had to call the tow truck on the second occasion as the Mini just couldn’t make it to the tyre shop even below 80kph. Utterly useless. Then loads of shops don’t carry that tyre as well Oh yeah - do you know the Mini leaks through the rear lights. If it rains hard you’ll get water in the boot.

Interesting review.

Funny, after you'd been driving for a couple of minutes, I recognised where you were. My local area too 🙂👍

Like it or leave it.... While the Mini isn't as mini as it used to be, it's still quite small in comparison to the plethora of behemoth SUVs that crowd the roads. With a small car comes a small boot without room for a spare tire. Hence, the run flats. Maybe not the best riding tire, but perhaps better than the side of the road at 3 am. Of course, you could always swap them out and take yer chances. Also, with small cars, smaller visors. These could be bigger, but they'd appear awkward if they were. Maybe there's an aftermarket visor extension or something.

I have owned a second hand Mini Clubman 2009 for five years and I use it as a gig car because it holds my travel guitars and musical equipment perfectly. Because of low ground clearance and the fact that I live in the Rocky Mountains with snow during the winter months, I garage it during that part of the year. I really enjoyed and even learned things from your video. I think you made an excellent presentation. I'm looking into buying another Mini, maybe the "E" type. Thank you, kind sir.

I had an idential Mini to yours. Mine was a 2015, direct from the factory, with every available extra on it. I got rid of it at 3 years old. I had the same issues with mine. I also hated the fact that the pedals were offset (Mine was an auto). A friend of mine had a Cooper, with the same issues with the cruise control. His slammed on the brakes at 70mph on the motorway, which caused an accident. He said the seat belt got so tight that it caused him chest pains. He died the following day of a heart attack. I'm sure it was related. I loved my Mini. I've owned 5 BMW Mini's, but never again!

1. Just change the tyres... 2. Oil should always be checked with a warm motor. What you had to endure was waiting ONE minute sitting in the warm. Wow... I prefer that rather than getting my hands dirty in the cold. 3. Considering your anger about the fancy oil-check, why hating about the cruse control. Dude... just use your foot. 4. The rubber sealing on your door will not scratch or wear down your paint. Take some WD40 and and you'll see... ...its just rubber ON the paint. 5. Not showing the double pipe... well.... yeah... that's actually something to get mad about XD

I’ve had my 2017 JCW for the last 5 years - TBH most of the issues you’ve mentioned has been a non issue for me. One of the first things l did was to swap out the tyres and wheels for Michelin PS4s and OZ Ultraleggera wheels which improved the ride no end. Cruise control is something I hardly use so no issues. Electric dipstick is a non issue. Door rub after 6 years, no major problem. Basically you’re too fussy just get rid 😂
