yes, we had a batch of 25 that had poor welding by the manufacturer and nearly all of them have been replaced. The revised units that are now shipping have been laser cut to allow the pins to protrude through the metal shaft and are welded from the back for a super bond. No issues have been detected with this new method.

Arrived quickly and was easy to apply. Looks great on my 2012 Countryman.

I recently picked up a 3 year old Mini which was in excellent condition but I did notice this windshield cowl was very faded and worn out. This is a great way to refresh the area. Was pretty easy install, just takes a little patience getting everything in place and seated propertly. Perfect OEM fit and replacement if you want to refresh this piece.

Advantages: Perfect OEM replacement.

Easy switch to black out chrome headlight trim. Snapped right in without issue.

Great alternative to a full replacement part if you are looking to black out your chrome. Fully covered the chrome piece and looks great. You cannot tell it is a piece that fits over the original chrome unless you look vert closely with the hood open. Quick and easy install without having to take apart the entire front assembly.

Works great. Looks built in, like it's original equipment. My cell phone drops in easy. I use a coiled charging cable plugged in to the port below, and it all looks great.

Advantages: Looks built in. Easy to mount. Easy to use.

The pieces fit very well and are high quality. However, if you want to install these, make sure you have a heat gun. A heat gun is ESSENTIAL for proper fit, because the lenses are curved and the plastic covers have to be stretched to fit properly.

Once they are installed, it will take very close inspection to tell they are there. So far they have worked very well at keeping the rocks and scratches off the lenses.

These look great. The fit seems a bit loose, so I may need to add some adhesive to keep them secure. Also, mine arrived with the hole for the optional light on the driver's side. Only problem is that I do not have the light.

Advantages: Cheaper than the Mini OEM and they look great.

Disadvantages: I have a hole that I do not need ;)

Ordered from Australia so took awhile to arrive. SS housing was pretty banged up and tabs were bent over from transit. Fitment was pretty straightforward with the clear instructions. Inlet hose is super tight due to the extra diameter but as stated in the instructions, a little heat to soften it up and it goes on nicely.

Advantages: The extra whine is awesome and car seems a little more responsive.

Disadvantages: Needs a little protection on the tabs when shipped internationally to prevent damage.

Bought these as a replacement for my strut brace as I wanted better access to the engine. Well made product and very easy to install (Took me 10 min to remove brace and install these)


Advantages: Clean install and look great.

Disadvantages: No instructions.
Extension nut was a very odd size, did not fit metric or imperial spanners?

MY FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Remove existing top 3 nuts from tower.
Flatten if required if bulged.
Place small washer then thread extension and nip up.
Place appropriate bracket over extended threads (Take care to not damage cables on edge)
Place large washer followed by large nut and tighten.

Just installed 6/30/21…was concerned at first. Was worried about error on dash. All is good. Really like the way they look. Good price for black out look side scuttle and led.

Advantages: Brighter/looks better

Disadvantages: For me it would be…light sequence travels towards the front of car and not the rear. Looks a little weird to me me.
But I’m really picky.

Do you want to guess when you remove the entire acclerator including the pedal? I mean if you guess wrong the worst that could happen is that you break it and need to be towed to a dealer OR it comes off when you are driving, gets stuck under the brake pedal where you hit the brakes and accidentally hit the gas causing a huge wreck. No biggie, right? Do I sound aggravated? I am because every single thing I buy for the car comes without a single bloody instruction!!! Sometimes you can get them from the manufacturer if they are designed to be aftermarket replacement. But if they are OEM, well good luck trying to convince BMW to provide you with instructions. After all they don't want to be sued if you screw up doing it.
It isn't just this site, it is every single site I have purchased from Turner Motor Works, ECM, Lohen. I have wasted hours watching videos that are almost like the Mini but do I want to take my acclerator off until I find an exact video with good instructions? Not really.

Advantages: OEM, looks good

Disadvantages: No instructions, do it wrong and you may kill yourself in a wreck.

These bushings defintly do there job. Shifting is smoother and bucking inbetween shifts and when flooring it have became less noticible. The engine feels connected to the frame, it move MUCH less now. Down side is the NVH inside the cabin. Noise is increased while getting into first gear, around 1100 RPM, after that its smooth and the noise is gone. Auto transmissions will vibrate more at a stop then manual cars. Also when the AC is on you can notice more noise at a stop. Overall i like the product and the noise is worth the performance to me.

17% pulley can i adid this part with the ecu or is it ok without the ecu

the price is better here than the mini dealership it arrived in decent shape

Advantages: its a good light sporty watch with a nice design

Disadvantages: the time is a bit hard to read at first but you get used to it fast

There's a definite improvement in feel in the pedal. I've had to get hard on the brakes a few times recently due to deer activity and bad traffic patterns and have noticed a slightly higher and firmer pedal. Combined with quality pads and rotors, these will complete a street worthy brake system.

I just installed the NM Engineering Lowering Springs and am extremely pleased both with the looks, ride and the handling. The car lowered approximately 1.2" and looks like the photos above. No rubbing or grinding at any time.

I LOVE MY UNION JACK LICENSE PLATE FRAME!!!

I just installed the 22 mm rear sway bar from NM Engineering and have to say it really performs like expected and advertised. It has high quality mounting brackets and has significantly reduced the understeer found in the stock Mini.

Looks great till you go for a decent drive on a hot day. After about 15km the mini logo badge flew off. by the end of our 120km day trip we had lost them altogether.

Advantages: Looks great.(Till they fall off)

Disadvantages: Even making sure you have the area properly cleaned before sticking them on they are susceptible to heat. 28deg day in Melbourne Australia and we had lost the entirely after a 120km. Most disappointing.

I own a 2012 R56 and ordered the GEN 2 2011 and newer and the main bolt did not screw in to the tow hook. I believe the bolt is a M16 and my either needs an M14 or M12 bolt to screw in and hold the license plate frame. I will be returning and ordering the R56 for 2010 and lower to see if that one fit my car.

Advantages: No drilling.

Disadvantages: Wrong size bolt.

Note that this will NOT fit 2013 models as MINI changed the underside of the bonnet.

I installed this last weekend.

It's very well made and works well. No need to replace OEM mounts anymore.

NVH is up, but not dreadful.

Given the length of the (non removable) threaded rod; it's a pain to install because you have to remove the Engine Mount Bracket from the block. Putting the Bracket back onto the block is difficult. 2 hours to install by myself (much quicker if you have a second body to rock the engine forward while supported by a jack)

Purchased these to improve the appearance. Very easy to remove old, and easy to install these... With the piano black replacement light rings (front & rear set), getting compliments on how much better it looks.
Just ordered door handle replacements & beltline kit...
Thanks.

I love these and the pop of color they add to my chili red Clubman with black rims. I took the old off and had the new ones on in less than five minutes.
