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).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.
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

Well i personally think the new interior is a massive step up a like the exterior too so it’s all good from me.
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 
It's hard to believe that the new F66 JCW advertised as having one sports exhaust pipe does not: https://www.motoringfile.com/2025/01/03/2025-mini-...

Genius idea - if the CO2 inspector doesn't notice the 2nd pipe then they can halve the emissions figure

God only knows why they opted for that VXR bumhole when they could have just stuck with the JCWs trademark twin pipes... which most, if not all loved.Sim75 said:

I I feel somewhat disappointed; there are no JCW twin pipes shown, nor is there a legitimate single pipe in racing style. Spending four grand on Schnitzer twin pipes seems quite pricey.CarAficionado said:
