My bad. Anyhow, I just picked up a 2018 F54 Clubman S All4 on this past Saturday. I worked at a BMW/Mini/Land Rover/Jaguar dealer for about two years not too long ago, and out of all the cars I got to drive while I was there, I liked the Clubman the most. I got mine for a really good deal as it was higher mile and had been sitting on a dealer lot for 3 months. Being mechanically inclined, and versed in Mini/BMW, it doesn't scare me.

I've already changed the oil, serviced the PTO and Diff, added a CTS Turbo intake, and an FTP hard pipe. I need to get around to servicing the trans and brake fluid at some point soon. I swear I will clean the engine bay, but I was late for date night with the girlfriend by the time I wrapped up, so I had to forego it.

I was unfortunate enough to discover today that the DME is locked and will require bench unlocking before I can tune, despite being a 2017 build date, so I'm in the process of planning how I'm going to get the DME sent out to have that done. I assume it must have had a software update at some point that caused that. I've also been eyeing up a Dinan or JCW Pro exhaust, as well as a JCW steering wheel w/ paddles for my next mod(s). I plan to get ESys up and running soon to enable the 2TB transmission programming, as well as BimmerCode to change a few other things.

Long term I would like to go FBO on the car with the stock turbo and FlexFuel. Ideally making just over 300hp. I also have plans to swap in the digital cluster at some point, as that is the one thing I feel I am truly missing from the newer models. Add in blacking out the chrome, some Union Jack tail lights, a set of nice bronze wheels, KW suspension etc etc.

Anyway, I'll quit rambling. Thanks for having me.

 

Congrats on a great purchase and welcome to forums!

 

Welcome aboard and Happy Motoring! 👍

 

Hello and welcome!

 

Uh oh. ECS in my thread? I don't suppose we could work out a deal on one of the JCW Tuning Kits for less than they're already on sale for... I'm only really in it for the exhaust.

 

lol, was just saying hello. Deals outside of our site need to be call in on sales. They do the genuine on a case by case basis for forum members. You have to mention you are on forums, some thing can be adjusted and some don't.
