New Mini Owner (Kind Of)

New member here.... Looking forward to all the info on this site. Being this will be my first Mini. On May 2 I placed an order for a 2024 2 Door Hardtop JCW Nanuq White with same roof color with Carbon Black leather and 18" wheels I ordered pretty much all the options. I was lucky enough to order one that was slatted to go into production in a few weeks so they were able to make all the changes I wanted. ETA on production is June 4 last week it was May 22 Nothing to do now but wait and check on the status at my mini garage everyday

Glad to help

We have not updated yet, we should have it soon. Most of the stuff is the same on the 2021 unless its LCI specific like the newer design oil filter or body components.

Intake you will need the LCI version, you will see it on our site labeled, but no one has confirmed on the 2024 JCW yet, hopefully MINI did not change anything again, Wheel spacers are the same as all F56 MINIs 5x112 66.6CB

Thanks... Well you guys need to get the site updated soon I just got great news this morning Production begins
Today's the day! Your MINI has entered the production queue. I also received the Vin #. I was told last week production wont start until June 4.
These are the items I'm going to order once I have my hands on the car.

Any research you could do for me would be great.

NM Engineering Intake (Black Pipe)
Wheel Spacers 10mm F 15mm R
Lowering Spring H&R Or NM Engineering H&R doesn't list springs for the JCW but other site shows H&R makes them.
Floating Mini Center Wheel Caps

Wheel Spacers 10mm F 15mm R
Lowering Spring H&R Or NM Engineering H&R doesn't list springs for the JCW but other site shows H&R makes them.
Floating Mini Center Wheel Caps , all floating are F56-F60 2014+

I have not confirmed on F56 JCW 2024 on intake changes, let me contact some close vendors.

Thanks so much. Any chance you could reach out to H&R to see if the lowering springs will work with DD on the JCW?

Welcome.

H&R springs should be fine, the suspension geometry did not change much, just the strut going from a wired to a non wired unit. I can ask.

I reached out to my friend at NM Eng.

Thanks... I'm leaning more towards H&R so I hope they will get back to you.

I looked at the 2024 JCW on the showroom this morning and took this picture of the sensor. I'm also thinking of switching to the Forge Motorsport intake Part# FMINDK26 that seems to be the one I need for the late sensor. It seems to be on back ordered, no ETA.

I would think it would be the same being the body design hasn't changed.

It shouldn't be to long now. My JCW is sitting at the port awaiting its boat ride over to the east coast. Anyone know how long the ride over is once left? Thanks

I was told up to 3 weeks once it loaded from the factory. It's been sitting in the port for five days now.

I picked up the car on July 5. Today I'm having the entire front end PPF. Over the weekend I vinyl wrapped the beltline trim and smoked the front and rear corner lights. I was able to find the 10 and 15 mm spacers along with a jack pad made for the Mini from Urotuning. I'm waiting for the Forge cold air intake to come off backorder. I also ordered 2" antenna mask along with black mirror caps.

Looks great! I just bought a used 2021 yesterday but couldn't take it home yet. Work today is taking FOREVER and then I'll have an hour + in L.A. traffic to get to the dealer before I can drive it home. I love the color you picked!
