Service manual needed for r58
On the cover, the Bentley manual cites that it is for the R55, R56, and R57 (years 2007-2013). It's an expensive piece of "literature" so... is there anyone who can assure me that it's also for the R58? If so, is there a better repair manual for a 2013 S Coupe I don't know about? Thanks, fellow 58ers.

this ain't great IMO but it's free

been working on MINIs in my garage since 2004 ... basic mechanicals and suspension etc of the R58/9 are same as the hardtop so the Bentley is fine there. I'm not aware of an option other than the Bentley. For my 59 the <significant aka problematic> things that would be missing would be the top (does not apply to you ... and the 59 top is not the same as the regular 'vert) and the 'active spoiler' which you also have ... I never bought one however so you can judge my comments based on that fact too.

That TIS and shared stuff from the Bentley manual, the best place is here in the R58 section or Gen 2 issuse.

By the way, is the Coupe top a bolt-on or welded unit to the body?

since the Coupe and Roadster don't have the same frame as the HT or other models
hmmm .. maybe I don't understand the question ... the car is unibody with subframes ....
checking realoem part numbers I see the same front subframe on GEN2 R56,55,57, 58 and 59
part no 31116772229
there are two rear subframes (or axle carrier) ... one for Cabrio and Roadster (rag tops)
and one for all the others 56, 55, 58 .... 33316779458
owner's manuals show same front and rear track and wheelbase for HT, roadster, coupe and 'vert ...
