It is priced (on-the-road for personal registration, without insurance) at RM255,888 and is available in only one colour - Midnight Black Metallic.
If you are looking to add some custom touches and upgrades to the base car, there's the optional MINI JCW Pro accessories that will readily separate RM47,000 from your pocket if you were to take them all.
The proportions of the car is accentuated by the aero kit, featuring front splitter, side skirts, rear bumper and rear spoiler. Pay more and you get the exclusive 18” MINI JCW Pro Cross-Spoke light alloy wheels in Jet Black, a colour that is synonymous with the motor racing expertise of John Cooper Works.
Fitted with run-flat technology, the new JCW Pro Edition can keep travelling up to 80km at 80kph even with a puncture.
The car also comes with a one-of-a-kind red and black chequered roof graphics; additional visual enhancements include JCW Pro Wing Mirror Caps and JCW Pro Side Scuttles which matches the side panels.
A JCW Pro Tuning Kit, if optionally fitted, harnesses extra power for more performance. The output is then boosted from 192hp to 211hp. Torque now peaks at 300Nm as compared to the 280Nm of torque produced by the MINI Cooper S 5-Door.
The JCW Pro Valve Silencer with Carbon Tailpipe Trim lets the driver switch between different exhaust notes. The exhaust silencer system comes in two modes – “Sport” for a full sound to accompany everyday driving and “Track” for the adrenaline kick on the race track. The exhaust flap, which unleashes backfire pops and cracking, is operated wirelessly via two clicks of the Bluetooth 4.0 controller.
BMW Group Malaysia managing director and CEO Han Sang Yun said the JCW Pro Edition provides a new dimension to the sophisticated premium compact automotive brand, injecting a boost of adrenalin and sharing the brand’s successful track record in motorsports.
