    You really need to get a late 2019 onwards Clubman JCW All4 on Jamie. 302 bhp standard where the hatch only got 230. It’s the 8 speed gearbox and engine from the latest 2.0 M135i.

      Same engine in the one he’s driving just different factory maps

      @@shaneconcer3483 It’s a B48 yes but it’s had FAR more than a remap. Over the 230 bhp hatch the Clubman/ Countryman JCW and the Mini GP3 got a reinforced crankshaft with larger main bearings and new pistons with a lower 9.5:1 compression ratio. It also runs more boost pressure as it’s got a larger turbo and totally different intake.

    Yeah I enjoyed your video on the JWC MINI. I'm thinking about getting the JWC or the ST Focus 2.3 around the 2020 year.

    It's not "still great". It's currently the best sports car for the money on the used car market.

    Why wasn’t the JCW offered in the 5-door hatch body style like the Cooper S was, especially as the 3-door hatch and even the Countryman and Clubman got JCW versions?

    In the UK it's a steal when used, but in the other european countries it's still bloody expensive! In my country a 2016 one in good condition would still be worth 20k GBP in my country....

    Sorry but I'm gonna put hands down for the 2023 JCW MINI Countryman 2.0L its the best car I've ever bought in general. It literally beats the Golf R an the BMW X1, an the X2. From my experience I've beaten VW Golf R, VW Tigwuan Sports, and the BMW X1 Sports an X2.

    Cant believe you broke rule 1 when parking (!), I see another mini in the car park. BTW, all Cooper S and JCW's have Active Sound Design - fake engine noise from the speakers...

      First thing you do is to turn off actively sound design using bimmercode
