The standard R56 MCS is already running near to what the clutch and gearbox can take. The JCW Stage 1 tuning kit then takes it to the maximum. With the new factory built JCW, BMW felt the need to upgrade both the clutch and gearbox. This dispite the peak torque only going up by 20nm over the standard MCS, and just 10nm from the Stage 1 kit.
