I have a Sept 2019 JCW, now looking at the 2022 model it doesn't make me want to run out and trade my 2019 model for the latest model because overall I think mine looks better as it came with the piano black with just the belt line and door handles in chrome, it's a silver/white with red pano top and all the toys, rather than new trim MINI should have added more horses as in the BMW 128Ti engine.
Yeah I agree. That sounds like a cool spec! I am debating doing some chrome delete... They definitely should have upped the HP! Fingers crossed for the G Series MINIs in 2023 or 2024
Personally, when placed side-by-side I prefer the looks at least on the front end of the 1st facelift 18-21 model years over the new 22's. I also like that you had physical front fog lights as opposed to the integrated bad weather lights and I just wish they would let us order them with the rear fog lights in North America.
I do like the the new 2021 Mini JCW and the wheels our they 205 by 17.standard. And it's not so noisy. Pops and bangs our okay but after daily driving can become annoying. Perhaps showing my age. Thanks for sharing all the best on the new generation JWC manual is there anything to look out for low mileage or try and a get in the deal.
Thanks for watching! The manuals are super reliable. Just make sure the clutch isn’t too used if it was driven by someone who doesn’t know how to drive manual.
I agree 100% on the sound of the 2019...I think the facelift exterior take a little getting used to and I’d probably argue that the pre-facelift front is still prettier but the facelift rear is ‘cooler’ or more aggressive. The transmission on the facelift is fantastic when you’re driving it hard or in manual mode
Yeah but he is comparing a 2019 jcw with an added pro exhurst to a stock one which is a 1500 -2000 pound upgrade here in the UK which to add and compare the 2 cars isn't a like to like comparison, Yeah most people would go for the one with the loud bangs and crackle as there are more fun, but come on let's a have a fair playing field fromthe start before dismissing the new one . A standard 2019 JCW with no added mods with a new facelfted one. Then I'd believe it would be a much closer call.
@@actarusqc thanks. I'm looking to get a new facelifted cooper s sport, unfortunately can't afford the JCW, and I'm gutted that the stock exhaust doesn't even have a few pops and crackles as my friend has a 2018 and at high revs she gets a couple. It's such a shame that the exhaust noise has been dampened down. Although the fun of driving one is still there
@@petermcnish5660 yes very desapointing. I wish I could afford a new S like you , because my Mini is my second car and I am stock with my beloved R56 S.
1st - it’s an additional radiator in left side of bumper. 2nd - first lci also has square mirrors. 3rd - I want side markers and headlights from lci2) Sorry for some eng mistakes, I’m Russian 2020 JCW owner :D
Thanks for your comment! My car was one of the first LCI1 cars and for some reason didnt get the square mirrors! I want the lights too! They look awesome
The instrument cluster directly in front of the driver looks like an oval iPhone. Everytime I see it it looks uglier. I had wanted to get the Hyundai Veloster N but it's been discontinued. I probably won't be ready for a new Mini for a few years so hopefully they'll rethink the interior.
@@carcreationsyt Me neither. I think that it could be distracting plus I'm just used to the old school instrument cluster. A heads up display makes complete sense for a jet fighter so as not to take your eyes off of your opponent. Plus in a plane you never have another plane 20 feet in front of you unless your in formation or refueling. But in a car with other cars all around you it could be distracting. Unlike a plane there's really no instrument in a car that you must be seeing at any given time.
Great video, as always. You guys are becoming one of the best sources for Mini info WW (at least I keep checking all your new videos from Spain, they are getting better and better). I am looking for a 2018 LCI1 JCW. Not so many of those but I think it's a good compromise as 2019 manufactured ones already came with GPF, killing pop and bangs and being way less powerful (preGPFs are close to 300hp with just a tune a basic bolt ons). Will you update nav software in your JCW? Pros and cons? (other than looking more modern even if color scenes don't work, usability wise I mean). Congrats again!
Thanks, really appreciate it!! I agree, those are currently the best MINIs you can buy I believe. My 2019 JCW would technically be a 2018 in Europe as they do the model years differently. I do plan on an upgrade when I have a second. I believe I found the answer to the colour schemes issue. It only works on the newer cars, so fingers crossed, I will be able to get the dark theme on my JCW when I upgrade it.
Hi, great video! I have now the 2022 JCW for 2 weeks, but I'm so disappointed because of the lack of the pops from the exhaust I had when I test drove the 2019 model 9 months ago. What can I do to the get pops back in my model? Thank you for your advises!
Congrats on the new JCW!! Yeah, that was one of the things I found. Your best bet is a burble tune or something like that pared with the JCW pro exhaust. If you just add the pro exhaust, the car will be louder, but still no pops.
Where can I find the video where you said you'll upgrade the software of the entertainment system? 4:40 I could only find where you switch out the whole system for a new one, is that what you meant by upgrading the SOFTWARE?
Hello! Sorry, I meant that the video would be released in the near future. Basically, if you have a car with a full touchscreen, you just need a software flash to update it so I will be working through that process.
@@carcreationsyt Thanks for the quick reply. I hope to see the video uploaded soon. As I just got my new 2021 JCW yesterday and I saw that your videos feature a different entertainment system than mine. Could you at least provide me of where I can find instructions to do the "flash" update? I'm literally impatient. Also, on an unrelated note, if you know anything about how to get and install the JCW pro exhaust on a 2021 F56 mini cooper JCW, then let me know. I'm frustrated that it didn't come stock on in it. Because last time I did my research on MINI was back in 2018 where I believe JCW cars came stock with the Pro exhaust, which made perfect sense.
Hi I m an important question, I m considering a jcw 2017 clubman. Is the new 2022 clubman sound won’t be as loud pop and bang than the 2017 model? As I know the 2022 jcw has 306bhp. Is the 2017 model has the same 306bhp as well. I seek for your expertise . Appreciate your reply 😇
Was originally hunting for a 2019-2021 JCW, but a 22 fell into my lap with my ideal spec for a great price (Manual, Iconic trim, malt brown leather seats, grey/green/or blue). I'm gonna miss the pops, but there's rumor that we'll have an easier time tuning the newer ones soon, so it may come back.
Honestly am glad I found your channel! I recently about a new JCW and watching your videos has helped me get more familiar with the car. I’m looking forward to watching the video you put out about updating the old Mini software to the new software! Thanks!

The 2017 clubman has a different engine with almost 100 less hp than the new 2022 clubman. The 2017 pops a lot more than the 2022 does. You can get the 2022 to have loud pops though with a burble tune and an exhaust.
I just purchased a 2019 jcw with manual 6 speed transmission. I test drove the golf r and the mini exhaust was the reason I went with the mini. I love hearing the pops. It is so nice and the interior of the 2019 is super cool. Great video! Great car!
Your Mini was exactly what I had until exactly a month ago except mine was grey with a red roof but had the carbon shroud over the pro exhaust and a carbon intake on the bonnet and the H & K sound system. I kept it for just short of 4 years at least twice as long as my next longest ownership as it was just brilliant and irreplaceable. That exhaust was what made the car so special. I have now gone for full electric with 400bhp & 22" rims which makes up for the pops and bangs in my humble opinion. The performance seats on my new car are about the same as the JCW but are fully electric and full leather and the 825 Watt 15 speaker system is a cut above the Mini also. Would I buy the new Mini if I had stayed with, Mini maybe as I like the styling and the cabin upgrades but its the exhaust but I am sure Milltech will come up with a replacement for the OEM exhaust. Your film was a good watch and I have liked and subscribed to get a fix of Mini in the future. Thanks.
Thank you for your comment! Yeah this mini has been the best I have ever owned. Thanks for subscribing! Hope to make it worth it in the future! Enjoy your new car!
Thank you so much!! If you are talking about the digital cluster, you would be right! I actually retrofitted it onto my 2019. I have a video on the channel outlining the process if you are interested!
The driving section is a bit pointless when it’s all about the old versions exhaust, why not get into more of the differences between the two rather than just that noise?

Be careful minis have tendacy to default 😢
Sorry, not sure what you mean by default
2019 wins for exterior, sound and transmission.

That popping gets really old after a day or two. I would get a different exhaust
I love it! So excited to drive it even a year later, but that’s probably the child in me… lol
... it can be "turned down" with the double click of the button on the switch thingie. Keeping the valve closed will make it more daily friendly
45,000 rpms? I thought the Honda S2000 had a crazy redline!
lol! 4500, my bad lol
9:36 That's my gym right there XD. Is there Richmond/Vancouver MINi jcw meet up by any chance?
Oh really!! XD There might be soon! Are you a part of the Facebook group? If not, here is the link facebook.com/groups/LXMBC
A case of 'Same Same But Different'. At a pinch I choose the 2019 but still prefer the R56 LCI tbh.
Agreed! My brother used to own a R56 LCI and loved it
1st - it’s an additional radiator in left side of bumper.

Definitely not for everyone. I hear the new minis are forgoing it entirely in favor of a heads up display! Not sure what I think of that

Amazing job there! Great video! I like the new look but that exhaust is really awesome!
Keep it up guys!!
Thanks Eli! I 100% agree!
I now miss my 2019 round frontfoglights and
my beloved chrome grille ! Mini , deleting the chrome is not the right way.
Depends on the spec, but yeah I still think chrome looks good on a mini
No mini pops or sounds as good as a R53 with a miltek non resonated 🐐
I heard one with that exhaust and it sounded really good

I think the exhaust popping is awful. Also if your run flats will help give you a bumpy ride.
Yeah, not for everyone! They definitely do give a bumpy ride. I live down 6-7 km of dirt road up a mountain and it is quite the ride!
Will be keeping my 2016 model as all that piano black trim on the 22 model will fade to a blue/grey colour within 3 years.
Fair enough! I heard they fixed that issue, but until we see these newer cars in a couple more years we wont know
