Anybody use Group4 Autosports for N18 tune?
I just read something interesting for you N18 owners.
I quote "Group4 Autosports. We have partnered with PAW motorsports and are pretty much the only kids on the block tuning n18 motors reliably. Unfortunately, Mini got really crafty with the ECU security which makes it really difficult to tune. We have a few other shops we work with, but so far most people have just mailed us their ECU's. We also suggest you add an Intercooler to help keep your motor cool with the added power, and we have a set of high power spark plugs that come along with the kit. If you are interested drop me a line, and We can give you a good price on the kit! We have seen between 25- 30whp and 20-30 trq picked up on the N18 motors just with the tune, spark plugs, and Intercooler! And as much as 40 lbs feet of trq with other mods! The automatic is an added twist but Lenny has worked out the bugs there too!"
Anyone try them?

More info
WJ's N14 R56 is sitting at 262 at the wheels now, but it took quite bit of work to get it there. We are actually just finishing up a 2013 N18 JCW Countryman and were very pleased to squeeze 232whp/233trq with just a down pipe, exhaust, intercooler, and spark plugs. We are currently testing our new turbo upgrade and combined with the DOS intake are getting dangerously close to 250whp without major engine work! Most companies have bowed out of tuning the turbo Minis because of how complicated the ECU's are to get right. Lenny is our tuner and he also wrote the tunes for RennTech and Buckhead Imports!
