I have felt more torque steer now after installing the tuning kit. Maybe the extra power doing it?
But its icy on the streets here now, so might be the grip that is lost on one of the wheels, and then it feels like torque steer.
Anyone else felt that?

larger turbo equals more lag. I never liked the R56 JCW due to the turbo lag (and the torque steer). I actually prefered the R56S with tuning kit in gen2.
Lets hope the new JCW has a better turbo, lagwise. Its new technology now with watercooled turbos, in lighter and weaker material.
But I started in an R53 JCW with absolutely no lag, so thats my reference. What a wonderful car that was

Maybe the best tuning right now is the JCW tuning kit PLUS some other tuningbox?
Somebody should try that!
The stock S is restricted on higher rpm, you can feel that. And that can no piggybackbox fix, I guess.

The rumors says that the Exhaust in the JCW tuning kit is made by Akrapovic, like it is for BMW M aftermarket upgrades.
I have asked Akrapovic about downpipe for F56. The answer: no plans for any F56 products right now.
My speculation is that this is part of the deal with BMW/mini

I can not choose PS, I can only choose Hp or Kw in the app. Maybe PS is only for german language? I wonder if it is only a translation in the presentation layer, or if it is actually calculating hp and ps differently.

Nice
How long has the car gone now?
What octane fuel are you using?
In which gear and rpm did you get this high? I want to try the same!

Look at the wall behind the car.

I have limited knowledge about engineering physics, but isn't that kind of curved shape removing all the stiffness? Looks like it will flex.

You did not understand what I wrote. It was on the wall behind the rebel green car.

On the JCW accesories wall in Detroit there was an domstrebe...
It can be seen on some pics of the rebel green JCW.

I had a loaner car yesterday when I did a small spot repair on the rear-door, an blazing red f56 S.
The options really make or break the car too me! It had the standard sport steering wheel, the piano black panels, and the black half-leather seats. It felt like a car of half the price of mine, too me.
The JCW Steering Wheel, the dark silver panels, and the black pearl cloth/leatherette is in another league.
I have not seen another car with black pearl seats in Sweden yet. Not many people seems to order it. I find it strange. It has this really nice texture, feels high class. Pictures does not make it justice, maybe thats is why it is so rare?
