Should I do the brakes then wait for tune or wait until first oil change at 5000 miles and do everything at once?


ESCTuning do you have the tuning kit?I would like to buy myself a birthday present today.

F55 Tuning kit still not out yet. Will post when it does.

So F56 and F55 are different engines so different tuning kits? I somehow thought they were the same 2 liter 4 cylinder engine (I forget the number). Guess not. Which one's bigger the F55?

Exhaust is longer on F55 vs F56 so kits are not interchangeable .

I would guess the fjcw brakes and jcw pro tuning brakes are different because of the fjcw having a different master cylinder. R5x Fjcw had larger calipers vs r5x jcw add on units.

Oh yeah I forgot the tuning kit includes the exhaust. I was thinking about the ECU tune when I mentioned the engines, which of course are the same. DOH!

I understand that this is the part number for the kit for f55- 11122360847. I saw it at MINI of Kennesaw and since I'm still waiting on my MINI I haven't ordered one but it seemed to be available. and on ECS site (although it says backordered).

Everyone is waiting for it 11122360847, other site dont reflect the most up to date info like ours. MINI has not officially released it and its on BO. Once its available you will get an auto notify from us if you sign up.

Had a bad day today. Check my rins and there is a small chip in one of the spkes on the right rear middle of back side of spoke that could only have come from valet parking in South Beach and on the left front some very minor scrathches from drive thru touches car wash.

Time to find a new 17x8 or 18x8 wheels or buy 2 new bbs and a pressure washer.

They show on hold temporary. Maybe your MINI dealership did not see the hold ?

11122360847


Once these are opened up for sale, I will let everyone know.

Sorry to hear that. NEVER let a valet drive your vehicle. In addition to "road testing" some, they are not insured, so any damage caused is paid for by your insurance. Love those wheels.

Ah, if they were factory MINI wheels you could get touch up paint, Call BBS and see what they have.
