Mate you've done me a solid, I'm currently shopping for a new car for my wife and she's just seen your video and announced she likes minis, guess what I'm trawling all the car sites for 🤭
Had my head set on a Mk7.5 golf r couple of years back. Being in my 40s I feel I should have gone for a 335d tourer, ended up with an auto f56 JCW in the end though! Almost same bhp / tonne ratio as golf but mini is so much more fun. Nearly two years on I'm tempted to tune, concerned though as Mulgari suggest engine mounts need replacing even for a slight increase to 275bhp. Not sure if that's really necessary...
I’ve had my stage 2 tune a year now, no issues at all with mounts etc. I find mulgari are over priced and under deliver on their tunes also and products. Better off going to evolve or a reeve or derv tech etc for the tune
I've got the DervTech stage 1 on my '19 f56 JCW with manual, no issues with mounts (although I did read on NAM that some people did have issues with them even on stock cars but it's relatively easy/cheap to fix)...love the tune and love the car, loads of fun (and I came from dual pulley stage 2 b8 Audi S4, love the Mini more). Good luck with yours.
@@bokiNYC good day! I take it you too are NYC bound..? If so, your insight is much appreciated. So I just done DP, full exhaust (jcw pro kit), K&N filter and FMIC. I will like to connect my Dinan Elite tuner. However CEL just came on. Can I tune that CEL out and hook my Dinan Elite box UP?

What I want to know is, will it always downshift on demand? Some paddle shift-equipped cars won't; they 'nanny you'. Its important for shifting the weight forward into bends, for maximum traction.
I'm not a huge fan of autos, but I had a loaner from the dealer with the 7-speed DCT and was absolutely giggling over how snappy the shifts were. If you hold the downshift paddle, it will shift down into the lowest possible gear available 🚀

If you compare it with some pics of r56 you can see the differences in interior and exterior, they do look similar at first but once you start looking for details it becomes evident, especially when you look inside
Trying to find this out. And the motors limits on power. Hard to find anything. Looking at a 2017 jcw and before I buy it I want to make sure it isn't limited to 300whp or something like that.
I truly believe people INTENTIONALLY mispronounce words, titles, labels, because they know people are going to leave a comment, which counts as an interaction for the algorithm. The algorithm doesn’t care if it’s a positive or negative comment. “John Cooper Works S”. Certainly worked on me just now.
Your intro from the driver seat gets us excited then you muck it up in 10 secs by saying it’s a “JCW Mini Cooper S”. That car doesn’t exist. It’s either a JCW or an S. Can’t be both. If you’re gonna do a review of a whip better know what your driving first haha.
