R60 JCW and JB+

Folks, I've currently got an R60 JCW on order and awaiting delivery.

What I'm curious about is the actual driving performance gains of the R60 JCW with the JB+?

My current Mini had noticeable gains with the JB+ add-in, but unsure if I should add it to my next one, since it is a JCW already?

Any inputs/thoughts are welcome!

I don't know if the JB+ will work with the JCW since the engine is different. It's the N18 TOP instead of the normal N18 that most JB+s get attached to.


Might be a good question to ask Burger Tuning.

Thanks for clarifying! I stand corrected.

I mailed with Burger Motorsport about the JB+ for the R60 JCW and they said it works with no problem. It sould gain around 25whp and 30wt.

But you should put the setting a bit lower than default.

It has been recommended that JCW owners lower their setting to 40%

Also, anyone not running 93octane or higher should do the same...

I'm running it on my JCW and loving it. Considering adding the Sprint Boost as well. I hear the combo is tops but I don't recall if it was from a JCW owner.

I ran the JB+ w/Sprint Booster set on "Red" in my R56. I was happy until my MOD addiction kicked in and opted for the Manic upgrade.

If It came down to warranty and budget, JB+ w/SB is a sweet deal for just about $500.

My son just bought a new 2015 Coupe S, and I recommended the JB/SB combo for practicality and warranty feasible solution purposes👍

Received and installed the Sprint Booster and though its early I like the difference it brings to the R61 acceleration. I can't wait till its completely broken in. Thanks for the great advice. If you're still under warranty the JB+ and SB combo is a no-brainer.
