Tell me about it!......and no manual yet.
That's exactly what I have just said in another thread it the best of both bang in the middle and perfect for us, but hey boys needs toys and at my age should be past this stage , but no still would be tempted if few hundred possibly, but £1600 i would run for the hillsFor me, the JCW's exhaust in 'sport' mode is plenty loud enough for me - pops and bangs are bigger / louder over the standard Cooper S, but not as loud as the Cooper S with the JCW tuning kit.
I can't see where the value in that, unless "reallly loud" isn't loud enough for you but then it's bordering on silly. Each to their own though.
