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 🚀
Can you please provide the detail of the rims you have on? I have JCW with 17" rims and would like to get these rims. Is it just swapped or will there be a spacers needed? Thanks

So which transmission is this? Mini confuse me lol. I want to purchase a 2021 or newer mini in America but don’t want a shit auto transmission. Are they any good? Can they be tuned?
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
I just got an F56 at the end of February, having problems locating the smoked out look of the headlight, taillight & rear fog lights like on the JCW you drive in the video. Any links?
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.
