2009 Mini Cooper Clubman John Cooper Works!

You have to see this car! I bought it for a tow vehicle behind my RV and absolutely fell in love with it. They are fast fast fast, have Brembo brakes and tons of room. If you are comparing a regular Mini, an S and a John Cooper Works...don't, the others don't hold a candle to the JCW, these things are just awesome and a riot to drive! Why am I selling it you ask, I had to sell my RV so now I dont need it.

Here are a few details from a write up I found:

The Specs

Under the hood, you'll find what is essentially the same 1.6-liter engine that powers the Cooper S—this time with a revised cylinder head, a bigger turbocharger and slightly different intake plumbing. According to Mini, the exhaust valves have a slightly thinner back cut than those of the Cooper S. Subtle though the changes may seem, they're enough to get the car to 60 mph in a claimed 6.2 seconds (6.5 for the four-door Clubman), and to a top speed of 148 mph.

The turbocharger is essentially the same Borg Warner unit found on the Cooper S but with a slightly bigger exhaust housing. Peak boost of 11.6 psi (14.5 psi in overboost) is available at 1850 rpm, as compared with 1600 rpm in the Cooper S. An enlarged catalytic converter and downpipe help evacuate exhaust gases into an aggressive-looking cat-back exhaust. The revised system nets 207 hp at 6000 rpm, with 192 ft.-lb. of torque available from 1850 to 5600 rpm—not too bad from a mere 1.6 liters. Gas mileage suffers a little bit, but the JCW still offers econobox thrift, at 25 mpg city and 33 mpg highway. That's just 1 mpg less than the 175 hp Cooper S.

The JCW gets all that increased power to the ground by way of a beefier clutch, a slightly modified transmission and BMW's Electronic Differential Lock Control (EDLC). This device slows the spinning wheel(s) through the brakes, like a more refined version of traction control, and sends more power to the wheel with traction. It's a lot like a limited-slip differential, but without the torque-steer.

Inside, things are standard Cooper S fare: The car comes with grippy cloth seats as well as standard piano-black dash trim and an anthracite headliner. The John Cooper Works will be offered in the same array of paint colors as the Cooper S.

The Drive

Peak power may arrive a bit later than on the Cooper S, but you'll never notice. Turbo boost seems to be available any time you need it. And in the lower gears, it's more than enough. It's an absolute blast, and you hot-shoe around town completely guilt-free—knowing even the hottest Mini of them all still sips fuel.

Electric steering usually guarantees there will be precious little information transmitted to the driver about what those front tires are doing. But that's simply not the case here. The steering is quick and direct, with the weighting you might expect from the BMW-owned company. The rack makes a perfect companion to the short throw shifter, which offers neat rifle-bolt snicks into each gear. Throw the shifter down a couple gears for a corner, and the delightfully raucous exhaust will offer the occasional pop and gurgle. It's a great sound that's reminiscent of race-equipped Minis of the 1960s.

The only thing we might find cause to complain about is the highway ride. It's no stiffer than a Cooper S, mind you, as they share the same suspension, and both cars have run-flat tires (ours was equipped with Continental ContiSport Contact 3 rubber in 205/45R17 sizing; production cars will be shod with Dunlop SP Sport tires in the same size). But we've found even the Cooper S is a bit stiff on California freeways. The optional dealer-installed John Cooper Works suspension stiffens things up further and lowers the car by 10mm for the more hardcore. But you may want to try the car as it comes from the factory first—stiffer is not always better. JCW cars will feature 12.4-in., four-piston Brembo brakes up front, with 11-in. brakes out back. As one might imagine, pedal feel and stopping power from this Brembo setup is vastly improved over the Cooper S.

The Bottom Line

The Mini Cooper JCW may just be the most economical way to go fast in these days of $4-a-gallon gasoline. That is, if you can get over the sticker shock: The JCW starts at $29,200, but a decked-out Clubman can run you in excess of $42,000. That, friends, is not cheap. But the upshot is you will have a lot of fun as a member of this very exclusive club

The car is perfect however does have a rebuilt title. The previous owner rear-ended someone but as to why the insurance company totaled it is a mystery...it just was not THAT hurt. It was repaired using all factory parts at the Larry Miller Collision Center here in SLC Utah and I have all the photos/details of what was done.

It has all brand new tires and only minor scuffs on the rims. The flat black decals mixed with the carbon fiber JCW badges, hood scoop, mirror and door handles look terrific, its most certainly a one off Mini. NADA says its worth $22,650 but I am taking off some for the branded title but again, the car is perfect...and the tow hook cover in the front bumper, it is still coming from the dealer.

If you are local feel free to come and see it.

Mini could go even bigger with next Countryman

Mon, 25 Nov 2013

We recently reported that the new family of Minis could balloon from eight models to ten or more, but it's not only the model line that's expected to grow: so too could the largest model itself. That, of course, would be the Countryman, which is already bigger than anything else ever to wear the Mini badge. But if you think the current Countryman is already big enough, the latest reports suggest that it could get even bigger. Apparently parent company BMW feels a larger Mini crossover would better compete with more mainstream models in the marketplace.
The Countryman, however, will only be one of the new variants to spin off of the new third-generation Mini. Expect the new Hardtop hatchback introduced in LA to be followed by a new Cabriolet, Roadster, and Paceman. A five-door version of the base hatchback will also join in addition to the new Clubman, which is tipped to get a split tailgate instead of the single hinged aperture on the current model. The jury's still out on the Mini Coupe, which has largely failed to impress, while a convertible crossover could be back in the mix along with the rumored plug-in hybrid version.

Mini five-door spotted alongside next Clubman

Wed, 14 May 2014

Is Mini constricting its staggering array of model variants or expanding it? That depends largely on which way you look at it. Because while some models may not make the cut as the second-generation family is gradually replaced with the third, others appear to be joining the fold. They just might not bear different model names.
Take, for example, the vehicle pictured here. It's a five-door version of the latest Mini hatchback, but won't necessarily replace the Clubman wagon - particularly since that's precisely what appears to be pictured alongside it. While the five-door hatch appears to simply add an extra set of portals - full-size ones, from the look of it, not backwards-opening half-doors - to the existing three-door version, the new Clubman appears not only longer but also wider, giving it that much more interior space.
Of course that could all be an optical illusion generated by swirly camouflage designed to do just that, but from the apparent readiness of both models, we'll find out one way or another soon enough - whatever they're called.

Judge to approve settlement of Mini CVT lawsuits

Sun, 25 Aug 2013

BMW has agreed to settle a number of class-action lawsuits out of court. The suits stem from drivetrain issues on the 2001 to 2006 R50 Mini Cooper - in particular, its continuously variable transmission. The transmission was known to fail, often without warning on otherwise healthy and well-maintained vehicles. This wasn't the only major issue to afflict the original BMW-era Mini models.
According to legal site Topclassactions.com, the suits alleged that BMW knowingly hid the defects in the CVT from customers while informing dealers of the issue. The first suit was filed in 2011, while four additional suits have followed. Now, BMW has reportedly settled, offering to reimburse 1,200 owners that needed repairs within eight years or 150,000 miles of their purchase. Repair prices for the transmission range from $6,000 to $9,000.
Under the agreement, BMW will also offer up to $4,100 to members of the suit that had fixes performed at a third-party shop, while owners who sold their cars at a loss due to the issues are slated to receive up to $2,000. Finally, owners who are part of the suit will be warrantied for a further eight years and 150,000 miles.
