any heat issues or heat retention in the engine compartment. I wonder why Mini did not include this with all the CM. Seem to be a no brainer for protection.

You can see how close it is to the exhaust. yipes...anyone..

before i reinstalled the bellypan i went for a quick spin to make sure there were no leaks and really noticed the difference in noise

The pan just has to be dropped for an oil change, it very light in weight. Much like the JCW GP 2 Belly pan kit.

Also there are little plastic washers on the back of the speed screws so when you undo they , they say with the tray, and don't fall to the ground.

We include all the additional hardware ( which does not come with just the pan ) so all you do is hold it in the middle and with a quick turn 1/2 of the phillips head screw , it comes out. You can see the speed screw on the corners of the pan.

Countryman / Paceman JCW Belly Pan Kit for the ALL4 and the JCW Countryman for the US , which was not a stock item. 51759809304KT 51759809304

Not hard for oil change.

Thanks and hope that helps.

Yep. I remember thinking about ordering one for my R56, and while I was thinking about it the price skyrocketed.
