BBR/MOREGO have come up with a tuning package for the R56 S, spoke to them today and they're quoting a 30bhp increase taking power to 205 bhp and torque up-to 216 lb ft all for £495!
They've also got suspension mods available,the guy said to me they're the 1st to upgrade the performance on the R56 but I politely informed him about GT tuning's offerings

.
Also the car they've worked on has been with Performance Tuning magazine being road tested which will be out on the 25th of this month and is now with EVO mag for next months edition, he also said the car would be back with them from the middle of this week and if I wanted to come down would be able to test drive!

£495 is cheap but it would void the warranty and even the TLC (so I'm lead to believe). But It still sounds good

Den W · Jul 2nd, 2007, 07:23 PM

I did mention about the warranty and he rekons the chip would be undetectable to BMW.
I definitely would not want my car without the warranty or TLC

Sounds a good mod. Its not there product though it comes from Germany.... AFAIK its MTH.

Interesting, very interesting. I look forward to the review in Performance Tuning Mag. Like previously said though, only really interested if it undetectable by BMW. My TLC and Warranty are worth far more than a 30bhp gain. Gimme 50 horses for £500 and that's a different story!!

10 bhp for £2.50

a macains oven chip on the bonnet,

i have read on mini2 that BMW have been a bit conservative pessimistic on their bhp,

or to put it another way 205bhp - 30 might equal 175bhp
but this works as well 185 + 20 = 205bhp

Doesn't sound very "undetectable" to me

Yeah it's likely to give 205hp but the starting point was probably 190hp. If it is MTH they have always 'claimed' huge increases from just a remap. I have a MTH remap and it is a good product, very driveable but did not give what they claim BHP wise.

Just spoke to the Guy who runs this business UK Plate Design they do a remap for the new MCS. He quoted me £220 and a 40 to 50 BHP gain! Have a look at the website, I found the link for it on Mini2.

Also Welcome to Evolve have a remap for the new MCS.

search resultsMini
Model : Cooper S
Variant : 1.6 T
Original BHP : 175 BHP
Price : £599
Description : Stage 1: ECU Remap +36 BHP +35 Nm Torque Stage 2: ECU Remap and Milltek Exhaust. Please contact us for more information

A bit more expensive though

Japper · Jul 9th, 2007, 03:29 PM

Wouldn't trust the first outfit or believe eithers claims about that kind of increase from a map.

Never heard of either company so again would be sceptical in claims and reliabillity, and also is it really 'their' chip or someone elses ( MTH etc )
