    ok, its really not my day. just posted up a topic and it didnt even work. earlier i called my mini dealer to order the JCW induction kit. a few hours later he gets back to me saying that they actually dont do the kit for a cooper yet, only an S. the cooper version will be available in the 1st Q of 2005.....i wanted to get the JCW to keep everything nice and BMW etc etc so i dont upset the TLC thing and when (IF) i sell its all proper....but no no no, the JCW website has to confuse everything by saying the kit is available for coopers!!!!:mad:

    That sucks!!!! SO the new cooper tuning kit that minime spoke about must simply be the JCW kit shown on the John Cooper Website...

    I dont think they will sell you the induction kit on its own anyway.

    I got the Works Induction kit for my Cooper before they decided not to sell it on its own. I loved it - it transformed my enjoyment of my last Cooper.

    Having said that I've not fitted it to my current one because I dont want to mess with my new car yet but also because it rubbed the underbonnet sound-proofing and left a mess, despite careful fitting. Am thinking of getting a different sort for this one that actually fits properly... not sure yet though. The engine seems to sound 'gruffer' anyway...

    Sorry to keep harping on about it, but, the cooper does not lend itself to being tuned :(

    You heard it straight from the owner of a BBR240!

    Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with the conversion and it is fully endorsed by BMW, but, pound for pound your getting nowt special.
    Sure you can allow it to breathe better, but it's all at significant cost :evil:
    The cooper should have been the cooper S and the cooper S should have had the works kit as standard
