@Sir_Dave Work have changed their car policy to allow 2 door hatch backs... So I've spec'd up a JCW in my full work spec, eg all toys. Comes out at £421 a month. If I swapped the RS3 for it, I'd save £520 a month in payments and fuel. Thats ALOT.

@Sir_Dave Also as a side note, our was built in 3 weeks from order! We are collecting it on the 24th I think.

The only 'free' colour is moonwalk gray now too. Its the colour my Mrs wanted anyway, so winner!

Floor mats - £65 Seat heating - £215 Front and rear parking sensors - £590 Rain sensor - 90 Climate control - 325 Visual boost radio - 300 Total - £1585 It was cheaper than the Works chilli pack and she got the random things she wanted. Plus no gash black and silver wheels. Total discount...

Loads of places. Hit google up!

The offers are really good. Ours was £400 deposit and £300 a month with a few options. I want to put KW's and 1.2's on it but it's for the Mrs.... The map for 280bhp is only the standard BMW 328i map so it's only £300.

Yes it is. My boss just took delivery of his one. Only 4 new convertibles to be delivered this year. He's already had huge offers for it!

Because bants.

The production one isn't as cool sadly. Gets the new 400bhp unit though. Saying that mine was 398bhp out of the box!

Ohhh is there a central database for them where you can view everyones together?

Since the little Icons have gone can we put them all in here like the PSN one? 1) StefanWaite

488 GTB Passed me like I was standing still in the RS3 and it was damp as hell. Impressive.

Yeah, they are a million miles better than the OEM JCW wheels. That doesn't mean they are good, they are just better than a bad thing.

Build will commence on the 14th of Nov, so early December. I've requested we pick it up in Jan though as we'll be moving house in early December.

Yeah in BMW's the same unit is 260bhp. So a 275bhp map is quite safe. A bigger intercooler and slightly larger turbo will get you nearly 375bhp!

Passed 20k miles now in 9 months. Still going strong after its first service and all new dampers. Its not giving over 40mpg too, which probably means its broken. Its the quickest its ever been too. Still have 4mm on the rear tyres after 20k too!

No those are the ones I don't like (sorry). The hardcore challenge (not the 210) is fitted with Pro Race 1.2's. See below.

Totally. A JCW is totally wasted on her!

Sadly not, but mainly as the Mrs didn't want to pay much. (She went in there wanting a Cooper D lol). TBH the discount we got considering we didn't put many options on was great. Although I'll be buying it some wheels off the new £32k Challenge car as I don't like the standard options!

Well.... not really lol It was fun though. Perfect amount of pace for the road. As in some full throttle doesn't instantly equal 100mph.

Just ordered the Mrs one of these. The test drive was awesome. So much fun. Just like the GP. Went for this colour combo as it was free lol...

Needs the switchable exhaust too. Why didn't they spec that?!

I always have big excess'. Just don't crash. Simples.

My mate used to have a supercharged one. It was f**king awesome. Whined like f**k.

Also I have an SP30 and was 27/28 at time of quote.

I used either direct line or admiral. 335d in an A rated postcode, with 30k business miles was £500 with Directline. RS3 in B rated postcode with 30k business miles is £600 with admiral.

Currently sat waiting while it has a tyre fitted and 4 dampers fitted. They seemed really pissed of that I appeared with a worn tyre to fit lol. I want a 5.5mm one to match the other 5.5mm one on the front that they wanted to bin...

Although to be fair to it, it has done 18000 miles in 8 months.

It has been compared to my F type and 335d.
