R55 JCW Tuning Kit available now!
Thanks
I have not had a lot of time in the car since I picked it up but I can share my initial impressions. There's not as much of a noticeable difference in sport and regular mode as there was before the install. It feels like you are in sport mode without pushing the button. The power band seemed to be better into the higher RPM range. The exhaust had a more aggressive sound. Not an obnoxious loud sound, just more bass. It has more of a performance sound to the rev but I didn't find it much louder in the interior. I had to open my window to really hear the difference.
On the exterior I thought the exhaust tips looked great. Here are some pictures of the exterior additions.



What is this refund you speak of? What additional items?
It was part of an advertised special they had. You get $100 off of another item when you purchase the tune kit. They asked me what I wanted to do with the other parts. I asked them to dispose of them for me. I don't need more stuff in the garage. But they do offer to give you the old parts back.
Parts were 1815 installation was $380 - $100 charged to advertising account

I thought I would take a hit in gas mileage however it is doing as well as it did before according to the obc. That is somewhat surprising because I have been testing the torque and the speed a lot since I got the kit installed.

Now I am really tempting...
They mentioned something about it being ordered per install. It took 3 days to get it in and they installed it the next day.
Nope, its all or nothing. One thing you could do would be to buy the entire kit, ask them to not install the exhaust, and sell it to recoup some costs. The tuning probably won't be right though, since its set for an upgraded intake and exhaust.
