Best 1st mod
Hey y’all!! I’m a proud new owner of a stock 2012 S coupe. First mini for me and fell in love on the test drive. This will be a daily driver and will have my business logos installed on it so don’t want any over the top exhaust mods, but what would be the first mid to consider to add to this already very fun car?
I’m thinking JCW booster or JCW intake. BTW took this car to the dealer for service and drove home a brand new loaner, (2019 JCW 4 door S R56?) and I swear my S Coupe has more juice!

Strut sway bar
Thanks for the education, I’m a total newby here. (Obviously) I think I have a loose front strut mount, probably front strut sway bar is the thing to do while exposed... the rear sounds easy enough if I can get the car lifted... is the front as simple? I imagine it’s much harder to address?

I have a JB+ on N18 engine since new on a JCW and it is an outstanding performance add-on without messing up with the ECU. I never removed it for service and never had warranty problems. This is the easiest way to get a 20HP increase from stock with a 30WTQ.

If you are looking for power a tune will be the best bang for the buck

If you want handling a rear sway bar would be the best bang for the buck

And one other great cheap but good improvement is the lower engine bushing insert
