Thinking about getting another MINI

A 2011-2012 JCW specifically.

The last one I had was a 2009 fJCW and a 2008 Cooper before that. Of all the cars I've had, the JCW is the only one I actually regret selling. I see it around town every now and then and I always want to try to buy it back, that car was truly perfect. My build thread is on here somewhere.

My question is, since I noticed ALTA doesn't sell the Accessport anymore, are there anymore tuning options out there for these cars? I remember something about the newer engines being even harder to tune, will I be able to tune a 2012 or should I get another 2009?

Forgive me if this info is already on the forums, if you want to just link me to it that would be great.

Thanks! I might be back in the MINI game soon.

-Drew

IIRC the 2011 and the 2012 JCW still use the N14 engine. But even so there are now several tuning options for the N14 and the N18...


Battle Tune, Jan at RMW. and others.
