A few people already commented but yes, the number all over the car (302) is specific to THIS Mini. They are very limited, only 2000 of these JCW GPs are being produced, and you got the 302nd :)

Good in-depth and honest review . You only missed out telling the people how good the brakes are on this car look forward to track review

Jimmie Romero

Separating from this car and hot hatches specifically. Would be absolutely cool if you could get your hands on a regal gsx with a stage 3 package, or any w body style Regal gs. It was and still is a proper sleeper and surprisingly alive even though you would think a church goers car looks numb.

ARentz07

I think at 12:25 you nailed it. A lot of people do, in fact, want a high-performance car with an auto for an affordable price. That's one of the main reasons I got my GTI recently. It came down to a GTI or an Elantra GT Sport. I wanted a hatch and a good automatic, which it turns out the GTI's DSG is probably the best right now in terms of the more "mainstream" brands. But man this car looks insane. That's a good bit of power for FWD. I was expecting the transmission to be kinda meh, but it seems not to be. I don't know that the GP in particular is a good daily-able car though, which kinda devalues the automatic. I just wish they'd stop with the fake engine sound. It sounds even more fake on camera somehow.

Kevin Clark

Only thing with GTI’s, you see them everywhere everyday. Not the same with a GP, they super rare and very few own them let alone even know about them.

Modern MINI’s have always had fast and responsive steering. It’s what contributes to that “go kart feel”. Dial back that steering response and feedback and you lose a lot of that character. BMW/MINI is really getting soft. Hopefully the GP’s steering can be corrected with more negative camber or upgraded control arms or something. Maybe even an electronic power steering “tune” too.

Raymond Adams

4y↑2

I wonder if the steering is GP specific because my 2020 Cooper is the most direct steering I’ve ever felt.

Sweet ride, its high on my list. I'll need to hurry up and win that lottery though, usually I don't buy anything less than 10 years old and I just don't think this will depreciate enough or even be easy to find in the classifieds. Great couple of videos on it, I also checked out one of the C8 so far, fun figuring out where you are driving since its local.
Hey and great talking to you! I'm the BMW guy with an old green Silverado at the Shell station in Plymouth after you spent the day at Waterford Hills.

Ian Clancy

I’ve never driven a R53 but something tells me they’re the best of the “modern” MINI’s. I owned a Manic tuned R56 S and wish I never traded it in for my GTI. The GTI is fantastic but nowhere near as fun, engaging or filled with character as my old Cooper S.

You can disable the Active Sound Device (ASD) with Carly for BMW or Bimmercode. That makes the sound more realistic and true. 3,000 made for the world and 500 came to the US. #2974.

I just traded in my 21 type r for this.....I Iove this car!!! If you are looking for a street legal go kart this is basically it. Loved type r but wasn't me, does not bring the same smile this did. I recommend if you can find one drive it you will smile and laugh for sure. It's like a fwd mi I hellcat

gravityhammer25

I lost my tuned 426whp Type R to it catching on fire and I got a Mini JCW GP3 as the replacement and I LOVE it. I test drove one and knew I had to have it. The car is insanely good and the handling is quicker but not as stable as my R was but it's super fun. I's a really amazing car, stock it actually feels just as fast if not faster than my Type R was. I like it so much that I hope I can get a second one someday just because. I'm #1672

James Torrens

Did anyone notice the LED lights around the centre screen area replicate the tachometer reading?

Ian Clancy

Like all previous GP’s it’s really built for MINI fanatics and no one else. It’s certainly not much of a value proposition but MINI knows that. I’m a huge fan of MINI’s, having owned a a Manic Motorsport tuned R56 S which I wish I never sold! Sounds like the newest GP is a tad numb which a MINI should never be. First gen R53 GP was the most “pure” modern MINI. Kinda downhill since.

19:42 a poping car is a happy car

James Torrens

As this car is based on the platform of the BMW 1 Series, the GP uses the main bits from the M135i, such as the engine, transmission, etc. Both the M135i and GP are very nice cars though!

You're totally honest in your drive but this literally shouts the question, who would actually buy one of these??? Massive torque steer, combined with terrible on center feel. It looks mildly dangerous when you're on the power, going around a turn on a relatively bumpy road. I mean if you're creating something called GP, it better be superb from a driving feel standpoint. This seems anything but that. In comparison, a CTR has legendary feel, is likely just as quick, costs less, and has more space. I owned a type r for a month, until I decided yeah too much car for the street, and not for me anymore.... there seems worse in literally every way. JCW clubman seems the better 300hp mini - but now that I've seen the odd steering feel/on center numbness - I'm not sure I'd actaully want one of those either. Wish you could've gotten a '20 jcw clubman to drive.

George Goga

4y↑4

Most people aren't going to be doing 89mph on an entrance ramp. The car is fine and fun for those who enjoy the Mini experience.

El Trafico Radio

4y↑2

It's a track weapon that prioritizes bruce force over the precision you'd find in a CTR.

If you look at the GP3 as a discount 80K performance vehicle as opposed to a 35K practical hot hatch, it makes way more sense. Frankly the CTR comparisions are a bit lazy.

j_merlotte

@El Trafico Radio Lazy? Ok, throw practicality out the window (whcih is funny cause the CTR is more practical). Lets talk pure performance - The CTR is also the better track car with superior dynamics, and cheaper. You have to be an absolute MINI fanboy to buy this.

El Trafico Radio

4y↑3

@j_merlotte The CTR is incredibly easy to drive and you instantly know the limits.

The brute force and sheer fun factor of the GP3 is something you can't get in any other hot hatch. You buy this thing to hit the track with BMWs and Porsches and not feel out of place.

If I wanted something like a CTR, I'd buy a CTR.

j_merlotte

Mike Gray I don’t understand your bmw Porsche inclusion. Type R is going to beat you around the track, not sure why you’re referencing Porsche and bmw. Glad you like it tho. It’s a niche of a niche of a niche

Lul hideous looks. Can't talk trash about the Civic R looks with thing around. One of my guys Pdi'd this thing and I took a ride to get lunch about half a mile away. Bone jarring ride...like no wheel travel harsh. Salesman told me theyre trying for 10k markup (lulz), for 55k+ (even 46k) is for Mini enthusiasts only because I'm looking at a M240i right in front of me with more HP, rwd, no cost 6 speed manual for 47k. You must have a peanut brain to buy one of these....unless you really like Minis.

Joe Spittle

4y↑1

A lot of MINI owners that really love the brand are getting these as track weapons, as much as I love MINI, these are a bit much, if I were getting one I'd just get an S and daily it

Ted Theodore Logan

4y↑1

Yeah youre correct it's for Mini people only because it's main competition is the CTR and already it's slower, less refined suspension, massive torque steer, auto only/no manual or dct options,$$$...like I said the M240i is sooo much more fun and it's literally in the same dealer lot.

MrCarGuy

You would definitely have to be clueless and sad hipster to choose this over an M240i.

Adam patterson

@Ted Theodore Logan not to mention the potential to mod a m240i even a simple remap would be close to 400bhp 😂🙈

Matt Huffines I agree! See way too many Honda Accords. And even tho they have a similar 2.0T the GP3 would smoke the Accord in just about everything performance wise. Accord will have better gas mileage and be more reliable.

AMGenius An AMG Lifestyle Channel

@The Lonewolf hmmm 🤔. Should I buy a Mini GP3( limited production of 500 for the US and 3000 worldwide) which is a track focused street car or a Toyota Camry 🤪? Most will not understand or appreciate what the GP is and those who do will feel fortunate to have one.
