JCW covered in Bentley Service Manual?

The title says it, I'd like to get a service manual for my 2006 S w/ factory JCW package but it'd be good to know if it covers the JCW options. Does anyone have one that can confirm?

For a 2006 JCW, I can't think of anything that would be different from servicing a regular S. Even the upgraded components (brakes, exhaust, supercharger, etc) all have the same service procedures.

Bentley manual has you covered my friend, JCW does not have a bunch of exotic parts on it, when it comes to servicing it, it is a Mini Cooper S.

thanks, yeah to answer the question, I know most components are the same, but as for the things that are different: brakes, airbox, limited slip, exhaust, injectors - I was wondering if the manual actually made reference to such differences on the JCW. Sounds like it does not, but it doesn't really matter because the procedures remain the same.

I haven't owned service manuals for previous cars so I'm not sure how much detail they get into, but I was hoping it could also be a reference for finding correct parts and fluids. for example I wouldn't put too much trust in the auto shop around the corner to check into JCW spark plugs being different than a standard MCS, let alone that they should be changed every oil service instead of just @ 100k.

So yeah, I'm still interested in getting a manual - I'll assume all services remain the same but I need to be sure I have the right parts.

The Bentley manual gives very few part numbers. You can use an online parts catalog: http://realoem.com/bmw/select.do?kind=P&arch=0
