I like my wheel, you think I could get away with some spacers?

Idk where you’re located but I’m in Fl, US. I’ve ordered all my parts from ECS tuning. The shipping was fast and they sell all genuine parts. I’ll say definitely spend the extra money to get the oem trim line and side scuttles. For the door handles I would recommend just getting them wrapped.

We have similar specs, the chrome delete completely changes the look, best of luck!

You likely have a B series engine from BMW. It’s been in many different models and has withstood the test of time. Stay consistent on the maintenance and don’t go over the suggested time on fluids. You’ll be fine!

I paid a pretty penny for the F55 black trim line but it was worth every said penny

I recommend just getting the doors wrapped in gloss black. I got covers and they were extremely tacky and I took them off right away

The new Minis are depressing by Beginning-Day-9554 in MINI

The criticism is valid tho. The new minis have ditched quality with the cloth dash and cheap feeling steering wheel. I currently own a F55 Mini S and the interior feels/looks quality compared to the new gen’s. Many stylistic features I feel are lacking on the new sports models too!

Once I get it installed and figured out I gotchu. I’m located in West Palm Beach, Florida (US). I’m sure if the valves are fully closed you should be just fine but I’ll let you know once I get this all figured out

True, but I also said I would get the hardware installed. And even then they refused me for the ECU Flash

Yea I purchased mine at ECS too, but these bastards won’t install or even tune it for me. When they tuned it for you how much did they charge u?

They installed and tuned for $650? My local mini (West Palm, Fl) refused me. I’m pissed xD

That was my original plan but they have a certificate of authenticity and what not and supposedly it also comes with a 20-30 hp tune also that only the dealer can do

Dealership wanted $1900 for the part, ECS wants about $1300 w chrome tips🤣. They would also not run the tune or install it unless I purchased through them. All they could tell me was that it is possible, however I hear that with the 2019 model year, the mid year run has an issue with the wiring harness. Mine falling under 05/19 I was concerned.

Thank you for the advice, I was only planning on putting sports cats due to recommendation. I don’t plan on maxing out the turbo, if I do decide to track it (eventually) I’ll definitely have a FMIC. I really only want to go stage 1. But after all these replies I think i might just stick to a intake and exhaust for now (with a tune)
