Clubman JCW part availability

Any f54 Clubman owners in this thread that have done any mods like suspension or wheels? I know there are threads about JCW wheel fits but I also know the clubman runs a different size wheel and et than the hardtop. My car is on order and have found intake options and short shift and what not but really will want to close that wheel gap ASAP and swap out the factory 18s. Thanks all

Idk guys looking like we may have backed the wrong horse for modding. What few options for suspension exist for the Clubman all clarify not suitable JCW. Wheels are proving to be a PIA and will likely be trial and error. Intakes and plug and play tuners are readily available which is nice. Not holding my breath but hoping MINI issues a pro suspension and exhaust option. I even went the path of digging around what exists in the BMW X1 world but that did prove anything worth while. Hoping with the JCW sitting .4" lower than stock and then suspension settling the wheel gap will not be so ugly. Staying optimistic the JCW will increase interest in the Clubman platform but I may just have to resolve myself to loving my car the way it is

Interesting I wonder if they have any ties to br-performance who is making similar claims in the euro market. My German is mega rusty and was never technical in nature but I caught a few things. Would be interesting to see what comes out of that.

I'm pretty certain I'm going to run the Burger Tuning module, I have one on my r55(n18+) that has the JCW tune on it and man that car holds it own! I think you get the most options for the money over the Dinan and NM modules. The price I saw for the br-performance tune that claims to get close to 300 at stage 1 was almost 700 euros (over a $1000) which is pretty crazy.

I've been thinking of getting the JB4 Beta for my F54 JCW but for service work the Dinantronics Sport is very easy & quick to remove.

I still haven't ordered my car (F54 JCW) but when I get past break in I was going to go with the Dinan. My plan was to swap it out once I went past warranty to one of the more hardcore tunes. Best of both worlds to me.
