F66 JCW

[Sim75]

Anyone know when it's due to land? and at what price?

The rumour was around November. I guess it could be anything from low 30s base to £40k depending on spec. Was hoping for a power hike as it is supposed to weigh a bit more, but they appear to be being very tight lipped on whether it has more power than the F56 JCW.

I'm actually holding off buying an F56 JCW until the New Year to see if prices on those dip a little when the new one comes out and more stock available, although the evolutionary rather than revolutionary new model means I shouldn't think it will be a massive drop.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if F56 prices firm up, I think it's way nicer inside and out (Facelift model).

Although I actually preferred the MCS to the way the JCW delivered it's power.

F66 must be due a power increase, especially with the new MCS kicking out 200+ bhp now
I'd wager it will be 250-260hp to justify the increase in cost.

I’ve put my order in and have been told it is expected at the dealer week 50 / mid December

Pushed hard for a 5% discount too which made me think a pretty good price for the car in this day and age especially when looking at some competitors and all cooper S price with JCW pack which is essentially now redundant.

Gone level 2 / service pack / grey with black roof

Lots of discounts available on drive the deal on other models
If cash hasn’t changed hands I’d give them a call

[RichDS]

Looks like 8/9% on S models
Happy enough at 5% through local dealer

Not impressed with the new model

Is the JCW cheaper than a MCS, or am I going mad?
Configurator is a bit of a mess these days.

Gobsmacked the JCW is putting out 260hp+ or similar. 231 is so close to the Cooper S now.

I much prefer the look of the F56 facelift, inside and out.

Well i personally think the new interior is a massive step up a like the exterior too so it’s all good from me.

Yes the S is looking expensive…

No more power, still no LSD, and they've binned off the best bit of the old car (the JCW Brembo brake kit) for marginal little sliding calipers from the normal models
