Im swayed for going for a playmini exhaust, i'd hate to see the Works engraving disappear though :(. Will get it changed again once in for service (shortly) then if it goes ill change to something else
Re Topic subject !!!!!
I agree with the above posts....it will be replaced no problem at all , its a pain I know,however , if you have to keep going back to the dealers every few months I'd be thinking about a complete refund ....if you can get it that is :rolleyes:
BMW MUST be aware that there's a problem with the old JCW COOPER exhaust - I wonder if they're content to let it go and just replace them if and when they're forced to (while stocks last that is), as they're obviously concentrating on punting the R56 and maybe don't expect many sales from now on for the R53 JCW exhaust.
However, they'll have to sort out any quality problems before they release stuff like the inevitable (and no doubt pricey) 'JCW Soundkit' for the R56 COOPER, if folks lose confidence in the JCW 'brand' (that's all it is now), BMW will lose a hell of a lot of money. Not a good move to sell faulty goods at premium prices.....You can hear the misguided BMW Marketing man.....“Buy it in cheap, stick a JCW label on it and add a ton to the price - they'll buy it anyway!”. Doesn't do a manufacturer any good to treat their customers as if they were numpties. I'd like to know who makes 'em though - so we can avoid them.... I think Janspeed used to do some of JCW's stuff for the 'classic' Mini, but you'd think they'd be pretty good quality. Also, the bods at JCW were involved themselves in the R53 bits and pieces, so they should be kosher. We'll have to wait and see what happens in the next exciting instalment of Sweeney's “Tale of the Tail Box”....
