I met up with my friend and fellow UA-camr Petrol Ped, he has been running the new Mini Clubman JCW for the past couple of months. In this video I compare the Clubman JCW to my BMW M135i long termer.
Hope you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!

Mate this was brilliant. What a great day and two great cars 👏
Lolll at the cut scenes of a totally different white mini 😂
Great vid 👍🏽
Yeah i didn't really understand that at all 😂
Glad it’s not just me who saw it was that awful JCW dark green with red stripes when on the field yet they’re interspersing the in-car shots with the white one zipping along the road. I mean.... Why? Is it just laziness?
Petrolped bought that white mini instead of the gp
It is addictive, that shove when they change up. Great collaboration Joe.
Never knew you could get one that changes colour !
fascinating and not often seen close comparison, great collaboration, nice work Joe, I'm subscribed 👍
Two great cars and a great video as well
I heard the notorious MINI giggle 😂 the most fun car I’ve ever driven. I think my Countryman must be bigger in the back than the Clubman. I had a 6’3 person in back without an issue. Thanks for the content!
short sleeves and sunshine😎☀️...great vid, Joe👍
Had the JCW clubman (before the power upgrade) - changed for an m140i, would keep the m140, but if I had to choose between the new m135 and new JCW clubman, it would 100% be the clubman.
The barn doors with the foot motion or key release is awesome 😎
@@KaizenOz Yes, you walk up to the car holding bags of shopping and waggle your foot under the rear bumper -and the door opens and hits you in the bollocks. You waggle your foot again, and the other door swings open and hits you in the bollocks again!!!
Just kidding...Absolutely love my JCW Clubman, awesome and well sorted car.
TBH you need to have a drive of this car, I had a JCW Hatch for 3 years from new, changed it for one of these and its bloody fast, comfortable and I just love it to bits.
I specified the adaptive dampers, comfy ride in normal mode and very good in sports mode. I went for the all leather seats though which are really nice.
Monty Zumazoom I’ve had my new jcw clubman for 2 months now and love it, should I have ticked the adaptive suspension box, genuinely?
Jon Well I decided to spec in on my last car (JCW Hatch) bought new in 2016. It was pretty firm in sports mode but reasonable in mid mode which made it more comfortable for driving on poor road surfaces. With the JCW Clubman, I went for it again as it just gives you a bit of choice on whether you want a softer or firmer ride. The Clubman is a much more refined ride especially in mid mode when the dampers are on the softer setting. If you want to press on , the sports mode seems to ride better than my last car, with the dampers firmer but the ride is not as choppy as my last hatch. The ride is excellent on the Clubman. I put it down to the longer wheelbase and the fact that Mini has done some good work on upgrading the suspension and chassis on this car.
The only Clubman I drove to compare it with was a Cooper S version loan car. The ride was ok until you started pushing it as there was a fair bit of wallowing around bends. I think this new Clubman is ace and I think for me the variable dampers was a good choice.
Monty Zumazoom I agree, my clubman feels awesome to drive, and is a massive step up from the one before which I also owned. I’ll be looking to swap to the new X3, most likely when the 3 years is up. Thank you for replying, and enjoy your car.
Eyyy big up Great Shefford at 10:00!!
Nice one Joe! Cool cars indeed! Should have put a Brompton in to see the true size of the Clubmans boot! ;-)
How ironic... The sensible Mini -station wagon- estate is more fun than the BMW hot hatch.
This just had me in stitches at the scoring on the flip. Brilliant. I’ve had the pleasure of spending the day with him also, brilliant gent.
I had a mini one 7 or 8 years ago. Was like a go cart and amazing fun even though it wasnt very fast. I've had jaguars and bmws since and now I'm about to get this clubman because nothings been as fun as that mini one.
I have just bought a clubman and I LOVE IT
Loved the video. I have a first gen 6 speed swapped R50 mini cooper.
Nice to hear you thoughts across the both cars. Think I would have to stick to BMW if I had to choose between the two. Couldn't agree more with the pair of you about tyres!!
Great video 👌🏼
Thats a fabulous road Joe. I know it well. The downside is the ridiculous speed limit
Cheers Guys. I'already subscribe to Ped's channel, so I'll be checking that out now. Nice one lads.
Can't wait to someday get a Mini Clubman JCW
Great collaboration guys.
I’m not a big fan of minis unless it’s the original ones but great Vs video
Watching Joe go in the back seat of the mini was like watching Hightower getting into the wee Honda in Police Academy .
Nice cars
Suprised 😮
I've just been given a jcw 5d as a courtesy car. When you drive the car it sells itself. When I go and pick my own car up I'm going straight to the mini dealership to what's on offer.
toy racer, lol love the t shirt, checked the website, i may have to buy one at some point!
Awesome thank you, every sale helps support the channel 🙌
Also how much of mini Clubman be left when Peter hands it back to Mini uk big service springs to mind 💥glad you had a good time the Clubman Joe did like the colour too hope you have a great year looking forward to watching your shows cheers
I've owned M3's , Rs's etc etc and as you said I challenge anyone to drive one then say it wasnt fun. I got the bug and bought a R60 JCW all4 and have loved every minute of it. It's not the quickest car but its alot of fun. The only issues I've had with Mini is aftersales and Reliability. Aftersales isn't great and the reliability is shocking. They cost alot to maintain for sure but I think worth it.
same goes here ! owning E92 M3 but my r60 cooper S is alot more fun . feels like a go cart and solid 4 wheels . Especially with the sport mode On
We call them barn doors here in the states. 😊
I agree with you both on that. Why buy budget tyres. You should always get the best tyres
This is only applicable to medium to high performance car's in my opinion. Medium range tyres are good enough in most situations.
@@evrensokmener6768 defo agree with you on that
Hey Joe! I bought myself the M135i, it’s coming in March and I can’t wait! Had a 24h test drive and absolutely loved it, especially coming from a Polo GTI it’s a completely different car. What tyres would you recommend? Pilot Sport 4 or 4 S?
@ 3:50....that’ll be the door shut 😬
I would have the MINI. The F5x era MINI has never been a pretty car, it’s dimensions are are all out of whack. But having said that, it’s still a better looking car over the new 1. I’m not against a 4 cylinder BMW, some of them have been legendary (318iS, e30 m3 etc), but I am when it looks like a Korean hatchback.
I noticed that was footage of the Mini John Cooper Works In Germany
Yep taken off the press website
Something you mentioned on Peds video, the once in a lifetime thing. The back catalogue reads e87 130i, the e82 135i, then f20 m135i/m140i and now the f40 m135i. Every single one previously has been 6cyl rwd, none perfect obviously and emissions regs etc but having owned the e82 135i, the engine was a huge draw for me and I suspect most buyers of the faster versions. Porsche have found a way to put the 6cyl back in the Cayman/Boxster, come on BMW!
Scala598 haven’t got it in a mass produced car
@@danhall5761 Porsche do, the new cayman and boxster gts are non limited edition production cars using a flat 6
Wow so a clubman is smaller in the rear than a GTI ??? And yea that Clubman sounds great! stock I’m 53 and would leave it alone no mods needed
Which one of these two or the Cupra st r would you buy with your own money?
The Cupra 🔥
Thanks Joe
Double spiderman meme
Sad times when we are comparing the 135i vs a mini clubman 🥺
gazbaileyrn bahahaha
...or perhaps you just need to evolve with the times
Facts Father M140i toe to toe with RS3 and AMG A45, M135i toe to toe with a mini clubman 😂 doesn’t sound like evolution to me.
@@gazbaileyrn The MINI hatch competes with Audi A1, Clubman is a direct competitor for those you just mentioned. Don't let it's goofy, cutesy looks deceive you lol.
@@gazbaileyrnthe clubman jcw is better than the m140 too. I’ve got both
Is the Mini steering hydraulic?
no
Hi I'm a fan of yours
Which one of the 135i and jcw are you having fun?
Love the M135i joe ..
But that clubman should never have been made ..🤮the last one was way more like a clubman .
But hey it’s just my opinion.. 🤪
Keep up the good work by the way.
Sorry that’s utterly crazy!
It’s a Mini 😂
Where are BMW getting these utterly ridiculous prices from 😂
25k
A mini is a restyled 1-series. We all know this by now! lol
M135i sounds a bit meatier. The price of these cars (and cars in general) is becoming ridiculous. Nearly 40 grand for a mini
Would have the M135i
I think you could have chosen a place with more mud

The pull off delay is annoying. I think it holds gears the goes neutral when you're approaching a stop. It's fine - glad it holds gears.
mini je kanta
I had a test drive in the new M135i a couple of weeks ago and I thought it was rubbish altogether compared to my M140i horrible 4WD system not smooth at all or balanced not a fan of the new cabin bring back the dials and them heater controls are stupid and it’s now way overpriced
Interested in how low you can sit in the mini, that’s one of the problems with FWD transverse engined platforms like both of these, I hate riding up like a CUV. Also, anyone know if you can get a manual?
I would definitely take the mini over the new 1er, at least it’s traditionally a transverse platform unlike that other traitorous abomination.
I'm 6ft 9" tall and I can fit in and drive my wife's mini with no issues. No one is getting behind me though the drivers seat is against the back seat and there is 1-2" head room.
Why do you think they have brought out the new M135i with less power than the Previous M140i? Do you think BMW have done this to save space for say a M145i with 380 hp? But then wouldnt that mess with the M2?
Because it's only a litre engine and they haven't managed to get 340bhp out of it yet... I've heard the M140E will be next
Use Mini S vs M135i instead. Otherwise will need an Alpina version to really compare apples with apples.
😂😂😂😂 🤦🏼
How expensive cars have become!! Decline in value of the pound due to us leaving EU to blame. Good collaboration and quality informative video as usual Joe.
@@Mizzkan
Check out the pound to euro exchange rate history and you will find from the out vote result in june 2016 the pound fell and has traded consistantly 15/20% lower since. Manufacturers cannot absorb all this so has to be passed on to the customer.
The pound has been steadily falling for decades. It's actually at the same value now as it was in 2010.
@@entropy5431
Yes Donald we need to improve productivity.
I believe you would have to be in denial if you believe the UK leaving the EU had no effect on the pound to euro and pound to US dollar rate. Take your point though.
That Mini is ridiculously expensive considering the antiquated interior and tech!
They aren’t *that* bad!
Agree and expect colossal depreciation too. 37k is far too expensive for a Mini.
That Navigation is the basic one.. not the professional .... DUH!!!
A sad day when a M135i is now competing with a Mini good grief, how the mighty have fallen.
tony152 why ?
Says a lot for the M135i, ‘shit car’..
So, the M135i is just as quick, has more room inside, is more practical, and has a much higher level of quality for the interior, yet is only a grand more expansive, means it's a shit car ? You're not very good at this are you.....
MINI is made by BMW why would you be surprised? The JCW is top quality for any mid range price brand.
tony152 so by your logic if the 135 is shit this makes the mini rubbish as the cars are very similar. I have reviewed the 135 and a modified clubman (makes it the same performance ) and enjoyed both. I know it seems difficult to imagine a mini being better than a BMW, a Skoda as good as a VW. I would suggest driving both if you have not done
Mini too big. Bmw too FWD.
Just a suggestion, stop saying "Welcome to another video", Archie Hamilton says the exact same. Unless it's an in joke, its a bit lame n your game is a lot stronger than Hamiltons click bait car flipping stuff.
Lol archie hamilton is such a tit
Glad you liked the video, have a lovely weekend ❤️
Then why has Archie got 270k subs vs 63k? Ans: this is a car channel for the over 50s.
@@petersmith6520 suuuuure
Sorry, I can't understand any man wanting a mini
Imagine being so insecure about your image of what a "man" should be, that a car is a factor... I'm in stitches mate
@@Holythor1 Guess you got a mini then lol
Have you ever driven a mini? I own a mini one d chiptuned. They drive like karts, it's the most fun car i've driven yet. My parents Mercedes CLA (petrol) is nowhere as fun as the mini...
@@onray4641 yes I was given one when my bmw was being serviced😫, maybe its my age but I prefer comfort, performance and practicality
@@abc908 its deffinetly not the most comfortable car, but its a fun car for sure 😁
I’d choose the Mini Clubman….and did… because of the style and it’s more fun to drive. I am not anti BMW …. My 2nd car is an X5 but the mileage on my Mini is double the X5 even though they were purchased at the same time. Why? Because the Clubman is so much more exciting to drive and easier to maneuver in the city.
