So after getting the car back from Signature Detail for PPF/Paint Correction/Ceramic Coating/Tinting, next stop was to BimmerClinic in South Amboy. The Team there are absolutely amazing! They know their crap inside and out and I clearly recommend them for BMW/Mini Service. So I had the following installed....

JCW Pro Exhaust
JCW Pro Suspension
JCW Pro Steering Wheel
JCW Pro Rear Bumper
NM Engineering Sway Bars
CravenSpeed Big Pair

So with the exhaust I highly recommend 2020/21 F56 vehicles go forward with this as all the sounds you wish you had come to life! I have a 6spd manual and clearly the sound is absolutely amazing! The install was very straightforward according to Bill/Corey, zero issues as there is no filters to bypass or work around. The only hiccup is that you can’t use the tune provided as it is not compatible with our vehicles.
The suspension was an absolute easy install as I received help from Charles on this forum and clearly he was a wealth of knowledge as he provided a map to follow and recommended a few things along the way. Over all the handling is 100% better than stock and being that my ‘15 F56 JCW had DCC this one clearly is much more responsive and gets around turns and obstacles perfectly. Being that I’m using my Winter Setup, I’m not going to push the car hard but overall I’m super happy with the results and I clearly recommend the products and BimmerClinic for their outstanding, professional staff and service!! I absolutely love this shop so much that I just sent my GF’s ‘21 BMW M240iX Convertible to get mPerformance Exhaust and other work done to make it a sleeper! These guys are my new go to shop for sure! Thanks Bill and Corey for your help and support!!
Enjoy the pictures....

 

Here’s the BMW M240iX getting exhaust....

 

Nice upgrades!

Curious about the rear sway bar links on different holes? I know you CAN do it like that to tune the handling, but curious your decision why?

 

Thanks! Yes, so there’s three options....

Hole 1 = Soft
Hole 2 = Medium
Hole 3 = Stiff

Being that this is my DD to go into NYC, I decided to go Medium as the roads in NJ/NYC are f?!?ing crazy with potholes and crap. I’ll make a better call after I put my summer setup to really evaluate my setup. Thoughts? Jose

 

Are you going to upgrade rotors/pads? Looking great so far!

 

Thanks! At this point no need to upgrade the pads or rotors, they are pretty solid on the JCW and I would rather focus more other items. Jose

 

Ride height and alignment?

The devil is in the details....



Cheers,

Charlie

 

Hi Charlie, hope your well! So I took your advice and went identical to your settings, 10mm drop all four corners, alignment set to the exact numbers you used. Can’t thank you enough for the suggestions as this car really rocks if you address the little weaknesses they gave manufactured. Overall, it could be track car all day! Enjoy, Thanks Jose

 

And still civilized, yes? Not too rough?

I am delighted that you are.

Cheers,

Charlie

 

So the car is more civilized with the JCW Pro Suspension and all the other suspension work you recommended. So coming out if a 2015 f56 JCW w/DCC, the ride is much more easier than the ‘15 and clearly it handles much better and tighter. The combination of the larger sway bars, chassis brace components, HD Clutch, Quaife Diff, and Coil Overs, I’m super happy with the upgrades as a DD! Enjoy, Jose

 

Now you have everything for when the cars moving, you just need push bars for parking in the city.
