As an existing JCW owner (albeit soft top version but 2013 registration) I am an avid and loyal Mini fan, loved the new JCW so much I ordered a tin top R56 in May....
Chose my options....as per the marketing, pimp your Mini - express yourself and all that!
Anyway, no delivery date because Mini has withdrawn the 17 inch black wheel with run flat option.....end of discussion.
So end of last week asked the dealer if I could add a factory fitted option, No I was told Mini have ' locked down the order' your JCW will be delivered on 15 July...how so? I asked...the wheel/tyre option has not been resolved....
Answer..... mini have no resolution, you have these options;
Original wheels but no run flats
18 inch Chilli pack option wheels with run flats
So Mini are going to build my Mini with the wheels I don't want and I have to accept this!!
I feel bullied into spending £30K on a car with wheels I hate, or tyres that will leave me stranded if I have a puncture....
No options, no discussions....take it or tough..
The only reason I know the car is being built is because I asked the dealer to add an option otherwise I would have gone to collect my dream car to find it wasn't what I ordered...
Very,very,very unhappy customer
Anyone else stuck in this situation?
