Not trying to be a jerk ............ but.....

If your rotors on your car are 5 lugs then its pretty obvious the 4 lugged ones are wrong. Take them back and go to a store that knows what they are talking about.

Better yet, reach out to ECS on here and let them get the right parts for you.

If you have an F56/55 series car it is 5 lug x 112. Many auto parts stores have databases that show 2014 MINIs as being R series cars with different lugs and spacing.

I usually tells parts counter people that my 2014 is a 2015 for this reason. A lot of the parts systems aren't correctly updated.

They may have it listed as a cross over year in the parts catalog, I just looked it up in our parts express system and it in fact does show 4 lug on the 2014.

You are probably best to call yours a 2015 when you need parts.

Except if it relates to the different engine as some parts aren't going to be the same for both years.
