hi just wondering if anyone has experianced one of these and are they worth BMW's price tag of £400, i wouldnt get one but i have warrenty and i need a new exhaust.
also is it any bigger thanks mark

CC07ERS · Dec 13th, 2006, 08:51 PM

got a miltek never mind bmw you wont be disapointed

blaze1235 · Dec 13th, 2006, 09:39 PM

they can't void any engine warranty issues for a changed rear box if you have a problem with the exhaust then yes they can say no to that nothing else.

LookalikeJCW · Dec 13th, 2006, 09:53 PM

ok well still thinking about it, for £400 it must be good though, how much have you lot spent on a good exhaust
thanks mark

The JCW exhaust costs just a little over £400....much better than the BMW sport exhuast.

LookalikeJCW · Dec 13th, 2006, 10:07 PM

ye but they wont fit it because i only have a ONE, any way to get around it
thanks mark

Why won't they fit it....??? The JCW exhuast is available for the ONE.

GR33NIE has a BMW Sport exhuast on his mini ONE.
Also to answer your first post the Sport exhuast is bigger and fills the aero bumper much better.

LookalikeJCW · Dec 13th, 2006, 11:06 PM

ok yes gr33nie got his fitted at the jcw garage before they shut down but not bmw wont fit it and say its not compatible, any pics on the sports exhaust
thanks mark

CC07ERS · Dec 13th, 2006, 11:47 PM

the sports silencer is the old jcw cooper 122 bhp kit zorst and perfomance wise inst amazing sund wise is thow

but i was told mini dont even make it any more but jcw still sell the sound pack zorst for the seperate by mail order also 400 quid imo better off with a milteck almost half the price from lohen atm

LookalikeJCW · Dec 14th, 2006, 12:32 AM

that lohan one looks great i might have to get me one of them do you know where they are based, but im still unsure about my warrenty.
thanks for that mark

Haggi · Dec 14th, 2006, 10:08 AM

there up in staffordshire but warranty and tlc wise you usualy ok zorst wise as it dosent affect anyother part of the car realy it would have to be a perticulary mean dealer to say otherwise

spider05 · Dec 14th, 2006, 10:25 AM

i had a BMW sport exhaust for my One many years ago it came with a note from BMW saying this product will not increase the performance but will make a slight increase to the exhaust note.
after having it fitted by BMW as well it came to about £450, if you want my advice buy after market .

well it was basicly the same as ours but with a bigger tip and less baffling inside to make it louder

humph · Dec 14th, 2006, 11:17 AM

On the warranty front Mark you shouldn't be too worried in my opinion. BMW don't have to fit stuff for the warranty to stay in tact, if they did the likes of Kwik fit would be out of business. Also if you do ever take your car to kwik fit to replace a worn out exhaust I doubt very much you acually get a genuine MINI one put on. Your dealer should take the view that the exhaust was replaced as any wear and tear part is when knackered e.g. pads & discs. An aftermarket exhaust should not void your warranty, neither should where it's fitted provided they are VAT registered (that's the warranty stipulation).

By the way if your dealer disagrees then find a new one.

Yes I do thanks

It does sound pretty decent, should have some pics of the rear of my car in my gallery

For £400 looking back on it I dont think it's worth it, if I had to do it again id go aftermarket like a Miltek, but the same as you at the time I was concerned about warranty so went with the BMW option

Hi
The BMW sports rear silsncer is mainly for looks,it dosn;t sound that different from the standard exhaust,
The JCW sports exhaust can be fitted to the 'one' and 'cooper' and this sounds better, with a deeper tone can supply the JCW for £335 inc
Cheers
Chris

LookalikeJCW · Dec 16th, 2006, 11:01 PM

ok thanks guys that was big help and i think il go with chris's offer of the jcw, so can my local dealer fit a jcw because in the catalogue it says you can, under bmw that is any way.
thank mark
