Hi cabbage. Your in my neck of the woods so I might see you flying around in a few weeks time. Let's hope it is at the dealer with the right spec!

Hi Cabbage, in ref to jimmy's comment about spec, have you checked it is what you ordered (there have been horror stories of mistakes).

The link to use is:

http://www.bmwarchive.org/vin/bmw-vin-decoder.html

Put in the last 7 digits of your VIN (also called the Chassis No).

No need to frighten new owners. I know it is annoying when spec mistakes are made but these things are rare.

Enjoy your new car Cabbage.

Talking about mistakes. I found out today that my car was built without the JCW spoiler. I found out when I checked bmwarchive and didn't notice it on there. I e-mailed the dealer who panicked, double checked to see if I was correct, then ordered the JCW spoiler and will fit it before I collect the car on 1st September. I also got to select my number plate today too.

Is the Jcw spoiler not a dealer add on?

I don't remember seeing it on the configurator...

Being a spoiler it can be easily added on by the dealer, but it is also a factory option, similar to the JCW steering wheel.

Hi guys! thanks for the warm welcome havent checked the spec - too scared after the horror stories on here!!! Ordered begging of June so quite impressed/relieved its actually been built on time.

Need to get my vin to check the archive - thanks for the link.

Interesting. How much is it as a factory build option?

Too late for me but it looks great.

Hi veggie, we're in elsecar, where you from?

 

[TheScotsman]

The JCW spoiler is £140 from the factory. Not sure how much it would be to have a dealer source it, paint it and fit it, probably a lot more though.

£400 to supply and fit at my dealer.

Now had time to check my build - I have specced the JCW spoiler and on my build it says: Heckspoiler S325A can anyone with a JCW spoiler confirm what version this is? Standard Cooper or the JCW version?

Thanks

325 is the correct code for the JCW spoiler, so you are fine.
