I think MINI has maybe ditched the JCW Kit as there wasn't enough 'clear water', performance-wise, between the standard Factory JCW and the 'upgraded' JCW-kitted S, especially now that the 'new' R56 engine has more power.Īt the moment as far as I know, the mechanical engine differences between mine and the standard 'Factory' JCW are the JCW's strengthened internals, bigger turbo, I think the induction feed pipe into the Airbox and maybe a few other wee electronic tweaks - so the power difference won't be that big, but the POTENTIAL to further tune the Factory Works car will be greater because of the stronger Engine and bigger Turbo etc. If it's an R56 S with JCW bits dealer-fitted afterwards, then it's an upgraded S, and NOT a JCW model. In my opinion if your car comes from the FACTORY as a 'JCW', kitted and badged-up, it IS one.
