Saw this on facebook, seems the R56 JCW 4 pot brakes retrofit works on R60

However it require the custom size of disc which cannot get the info from.

I'm not sure but I don't think the wheels will fit over the calipers without spacers. If someone can confirm these fit then I will definitely look into doing a retrofit.

manho1dup, this is the link that the shop doing all kinds of mod for R60 in Hongkong.

As far as i saw the AP racing and JCW 4pot were fitted without spacer, however they didnt provide the part numbers for the disc so thats the piece would need to get it work

Enjoy some of the mods, they listed the part they used.

That's how the JCW CM should have came from the factory. I really think MINI cut corners on the JCW CM & Paceman.

Agreed. Doesn't the JCW CM come with Brembo brakes? EDIT: I see the OP was probably referring to a non JCW CM now, sorry.

The JCW CM/PMs come with Brembo brakes but they aren't the monoblock-style calipers found on the other models.

They come w/ the same brembo's that were on the R53 JCW's & GP's. Which is pretty much the same as the stock CM/PM's, not really an upgrade for the price of the car.

Would the R56 JCW front brakes be a substantial upgrade to the R60 JCW?

Anything in particular aside from the monoblock calipers?

They also have the stock airbox rather than the JCW one. On the other hand, they have a larger intercooler than the rest of the lineup.

The R56 JCW Upgrade seems like is 4pot brakes and if R56 GP2 then would be 6pot brakes. I love it but both probably are overkill anyway more for the looks i would assume.

Actually JCW R56 / R60 / JCW R60 use the same airbox, besides the Stock R56 JCW Stage 1 upgrade the part number are different. So no idea whats the actual difference.

Good to know they have a bigger intercooler, by any chance to know thats better or aftermarket?

The factory JCW R60 exhaust doesn't have the nice sound like the factory R56 and no pop & burble. The JCW R60 doesn't get the cone filter inside the airbox like the R56, it comes with just a flat paper filter.
