Newbie Question, but Detailed

Hi Everyone,

In February I purchased a 2015 Cooper S and absolutely love it so far! The reason I am reaching out is that I’m having some trouble purchasing ordinary parts and hoping that you all could help me out if I provide some detail. I’m having a tough time because most catalogs don’t list the Series code, any advice?

My Car: Mini CooperS 2015

Series Code: F56
Engine: B46

Recently a purchased 3 items that were from a previous generation (doh!) and figured that out when trying to install the new side marker light. Now I would like to make sure I am purchasing the correct parts before placing the order.


Original Purchase:

Side Marker Light Assembly - Front Right - https://www.partsgeek.com/gbproducts...RoCctEQAvD_BwE



Air Filter: https://www.partsgeek.com/gbproducts...08&fp=pp&gbm=a

Cabin Air Filter: https://www.partsgeek.com/gbproducts...08&fp=pp&gbm=a



New Purchase – Are these correct?
Side Marker Light: https://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/20...d=action_crash




Air Filter: https://www.partsgeek.com/ss/?i=1&ss...047961&x=0&y=0


Cabin Air Filter - https://www.partsgeek.com/ss/?i=1&ss...984505&x=0&y=0


Thanks in advance!

Welcome!

First, I would try a vendor that specializes in Minis, like ECS. You can get a rep on the phone or chat to confirm fitment easily. Plus they are helpful on the forums, so it's nice to support them. ECS usually has fairly-priced OEM parts and solid aftermarket choices when available.

And if you are searching elsewhere for parts, I would enter 2017 as your model year. A lot of the systems are out of date. If it lists 2008-2016, you know that's not gonna be the right part. F56 starts in 2014, and other Minis overlap other years. It's a little hard to navigate.

Good luck, see you around.

Yep we are here. I worry about non MINI as their fitment its not always the best and they dont have MINI gurus there its just data dumped info. Here is your MINI. https://www.ecstuning.com/Mini-2015-..._Door-B48A20A/

Everyone this is great! Thank you!

Hey @ECSTuning, I was able to find the filters - but I can't seem to find the side marker Side Marker Light Assembly - Front Right. If you don't have it, no problem and I'll still order the filters but perhaps I just missed it?

Thanks for the help!
