    For those that are wondering, one can choose the option for powered seats, and one can also choose Union Jack rear taillights which would be LED.

    btw.. 2020 JCW Countryman does have full power seats w/2 preset memory options. just test drove one today too. also the left rear exhaust has a flap that is opened when in sport mode to enhance exhaust note/perf. also does wireless apple carplay and iphone x does fit in the armrest/wireless charging spot.
    performance is excellent! i currently own a 2013 custom built Cooper S Coupe (R58) and well.. this thing feels good, that ALL4 works well!! exhaust sounds good and most likely even better once its broke in, aka 1500 miles later..mine is queued for build date of oct 2019 so i'm all for more 2020 JCW vids.. :) also.. you can go sport vs jcw seats if you don't want that cloth on seats. ;)
    lastly.. manual will return but not in 2020.. per BMW press media.. currently is an issue w/it mated to the current updates to engine but i've heard rumors that 2021 will have manuals across the board if technical issues w/new manual is worked out.. :) yea, i'm a total MINIac
    even more so.. HUD can be fully adjusted.. the numbered buttons below screen can be programmed to any function in the UI like in iDrive. infotainment is literally iDrive w/a mini theme.. a great thing!! sounds in HK system is very good, solid bass and mids and highs.. can get very loud w/o distortion. got to hangout w/a test drive model today while waiting to build my own build.
    lastly lastly.. you can now order a 2020 JCW F60 w/o any chrome for quite a few pennies.. i got an Island Blue w/Black top and black door handles, front, rear taillights and interior on order to be built in oct...

      Another function of that exhaust flap is to help heat up the catalytic converter. Hotter catalytic converter lowers noxious fumes (NOx) emissions. Also, a more restrictive exhaust helps turbo spooling at lower REVs.

    To be honest I never really gave minis a look. They just look kind of corky to me and a bit to small for me but this one really catches all 4 of my eyes lol. Manual seats is a bit disappointing but wouldn't be a deal breaker. I agree with the zonk for no ventilated seats for almost $50k. Thumbs up on the review Mr. Raiti.

      How many times do you adjust the seats in your car? I guess it is useful if you have two drivers who used the same car, but most people don't share a car and never adjust the seats. It is just extra weight, and lower acceleration. I've got a Countryman and only after 20 months did I have to find the seat adjuster two days ago to get something in the car (I wasn't even sure where the adjuster was).

      Part of being sporty. You don't want a lightweight wheel where you are going to throw yourself off the road or overcorrected too quickly. These things will drive different than the likes of a Honda or such

    If I want speed I’ll pay a bit more to get a M2,

    The first Mini was launched in 1959. The oil crisis you refer to was in 1973. There is no connection. This is not a Mini but a BMW badged as a Mini.

    I love love love lovvvvveee this EXACT! Configuration, I noticed though in some videos they say this a "regular" John Cooper Works edition , is this the John Coopers works with the Classic Trim if so is this a "New" Common Color or only on the John Cooper Works 2020 Classic Trim how do you tell the difference is it because of how the red trim of the grill goes around the grill ? Also can I find this exact trim configured like this ... Just like this at a Mini Dealership or I have to have it especially configured in this trim specification , Can you Mini people talk about that like do we have to call a Mini. Dealership tell them what we Looking for or they most like have that Enigmatic Black in Classic John Cooper Works trim on a car lot at least a few of them in This color just like this with the John Cooper Works seats for the 2020 Model year , this my like 4th time watching this video I especially in love with the deep purple-ish -blue color??
