Had this car for about a month now. What I've been told is the F55 mcs. 4 door plus hatch 2.0L. I have 5 lug wheels. Not sure if I'm the only one that has 5 lug wheels but having a crappy time finding affordable aftermarket rotors and pads. Found a listing on Amazon when I searched my specific model. No actually labeling of 4 or 5 lug but all the photos showed 5 lug rotors. Well they're 4 lug. I could probably work that out if I had universal wheels but they're a solid 5 lug. Sent me an rma but now that I ordered the wrong parts they want me to pay for shipping plus the additional cost of the set that will fit my car. After claiming they only make the parts for American manufactured Mini's.. I have no issue paying the difference if they are in fact 5 lug rotors but the shipping should be in them as their listing is incorrect. But I wont get into that here.

Tl/dr:: My question is do they make an f55 Hardtop 5door with 5 lug wheels or am I completely wrong on the model number of my car. The VIN number is no help to me. Manufactured In The UK. Then throws me for a wmw*****f2b56489. Is it a f56 with 48b motor or because of the doors an f55 with the known b46 motor?

 

Yes, it is an F55. All F series cars have 5 lug wheels. They’ve been around since 2014, so I cannot imagine why there is so much trouble finding parts.

 

Well it's harder to find things that aren't for the Jcw. I'd love some fiberglass but a $2000 body kit is a little out of the question. Not for me but the wife. And I could never fi d a straight answer about big brake kits. I can't find any except brembo and willwood that would fit. Is it because all sets are made with 4 lug rotors or because the stock wheel is a 16? If that's the case I can slide around as I have 17's on it now. But don't want to spend all that money to chance not fitting be ause they fit an 07-15 not a 15-19. Some vendors have been days since I've heard from about orders I've placed. Others have changed shipping dates by a month or better. Maybe I'm the issue and expect parts to be as readily available as a Chevy. While we're here. Besides being longer is the f56 the same body as the F55? Bumpers and such. I'll look up f55 and a ton of f56 come up so never can be sure.

Here is what you need for an F55 S as there are many options but quality has a big part of how well they work and if they make noise or are dusty.

If you are wanting a big brake kit like the JCW they are currently on order, but won't be in for weeks as MINI is behind on getting them in.
