F54 JCW upgrades?

Has anyone gotten wind of when we can expect some JCW performance offerings for the F54? I see Supersprint and Remus have exhaust systems available, but I've been waiting to see what Mini is willing to offer. The Mini UK site at least offers the big brake upgrade. We don't seem to have that available here either. What gives?

For what i saw, the Supersprint exhaust is the same as the base Cooper S... So i don't think it will sound better than the stock JCW on the F54.

I'm waiting too for the JCW Pro exhaust (as well as waiting for my F54 JCW to arrive hopefully in a couple of weeks :D ).

Concerning the big brake upgrade, i think that the brake callipers are the same as the stock JCW, the only thing you can opt for are the drilled and slotted discs (part number for the front discs should be 34106864133 and for the rear 34216864135)

Not sure about the F56 JCW, but my R58 has bigger front calipers/discs, but the discs are not drilled. I think my rear discs might be bigger but I think the calipers are the same as MCS.

hello folks. great forum here.

jcw f54/f60 come with brembo 4 piston for the front. should be direct bolt on. just make sure wheel clearance is enough.
335mm x 30mm non drilled rotors look like this
drilled ones are under different part number.

Excited to see what (if any) upgrades come in the future. I've had my F54 JCW for 2 months now, I'm really happy with it. Not as toss-able as my R53 but that's why I kept it.

Hoping to get the Dinan box by end of the year and maybe some cosmetic stuff. Would love a JCW Pro Exhaust!

Be careful if upgrading the brakes the front are the same as the F56 however the rears are both electric, bigger and vented. Also the F54 also apparently requires a larger master cylinder - I went and purchased the upgrade kit from mini as it was cheaper than second hand

Yes, that's true...

Front disks are the same measure (335X30) on F55/F56/F54/F60/F57. The rear are bigger (300X20 VS 259X10) and only compatible with F54 and F60.
