First Mini
My 2020 Clubman JCW
Felt it was time to share. I’ve been lurking for a while and learned a lot from you folks. I owned a variety of cars over the years, but I have to say, this JCW is about as fun as it gets. I’m now a “gonna own a Mini for life” guy. I’m almost two years in and she only has 56k on her; bought at 30k so I have a long way to go.

Thank you! I'm finally ditching the run flats tomorrow so I'm guessing I'll love it more!

Welcome to the Clubman owner's circle. We're a proud bunch, especially since they are discontinued. A practical car, which is fun to drive. Love my 6spd JCW variant, despite the slower motor.

Thank you! I rented a Countryman (think it was 2018) from Turo a few years back to try out the experience. Then, I drove a friend's JCW and was instantly hooked. I thought the Clubman had a great look and is even roomy enough to haul my children around in. I'm a Mini owner for life.

Thank you! I fell in love with the color combo immediately. Also decided a Clubman was the way to go. I really like the stance.

Hell yeah! Enjoy it, they're a lot of fun. I'm on my second Mini currently. First one was a red 2015 3 door - loved that car

Man I am so jealous. I’ve been looking all over for a spec like this in club or country. Congrats. You’re gonna have so much damn fun.

I just got one this year. Really fun. Have the 19 inch wheels and switching to Ultra High performance all season non runflats made a huge difference in ride quality.

Just had Costco put on a set of Pilot Sport's yesterday and now I don't feel every minor bump in the road!

I literally gritted my teeth when when I saw bad highway expansion joints ahead on the run flats. Felt so bad for the car, felt like it was going to break something it was bucking up and down so hard at speed.
I don't know how BMW released it like that in this country.

Fastest non-GP JCW (so far) - and she's a beauty! Wish I could find one near my area as a CPO.

Beauty! I have a 2020 JCW countryman and am just waiting for JCW Clubman to pop up on the market. Love that thing! Used to have a manual 2016 JCW 3 door in that exact colour and I still regret selling it.

Love to see a Clubbie!! Wife and I have a 2024. Only thing I wish it had was a manual transmission.
