So picked up the new motor yesterday. 2017 Mini JCW with pro exhaust.
Appreciate its apples and oranges to a degree but a quick comparison:
- Interior is leagues above, has far more character and is better quality.
- HK sound system, night and day compared to B&O in the 8Y.
- The exhaust is nuts and so loud. Puts a smile on my face like the 8Y never did.
- It’s slow, lol.
- Much firmer ride but really is more dynamic to drive, very darty front end on first impressions but of course loses out in the wet.
Have a few mods planned, dechrome, intake, stage 1.
Summary, 2017/18 Pre OPF is the golden era.
PS I’m off to lurk in some Mini forum now.
