John Cooper Works (JCW) is a company founded in 2000 by John Cooper, the racing car maker and tuner responsible for the Mini Cooper. JCW produces tuning parts and accessories for BMW's new Mini.
When John Cooper died shortly after creating JCW, management passed to his son Michael Cooper. BMW Group considered JCW to be "strong enough to be developed as a good sub-brand" and acquired the rights to the name in January 2007, and bought out the company in 2008. Michael Cooper continues to work with JCW as a consultant.
