I've only ever done one clutch and it was on a JCW. Took me about a week. I made the mistake of taking the box right out, instead of putting to one side. Put me off ever changing a clutch again!

Great job as always Kev, I just bought one of those Milwaukee high torque Fuel M18s and they're an absolute animal!

Interesting how you kept the front radiator attached, resting it on stands. I always thought there wouldn't be enough room leaving it relatively in place. My local r53 specialist charges roughly a days work, doing it your way saves quite some time I think :)!

Out of curiosity, seen you do a couple of these & remove the drive shafts both times. If you're undoing the lower ball joint & drop links etc, why not just undo the DS at the box & swing them out the way? Save time undoing the hub nuts if nothing else.

The r50 cooper and r53 cooper s 1st gen bodyshells were designed by rover. Then BMW decided to drop a chrysler tritec engine into them as they didnt have a engine developed that was suitable. So they had 2 versions the w10 naturally aspirated for the one and cooper variants and the w11 supercharged versions which were in the cooper s. the jcw had pimped up w11 engines. Thats why its tight in the bay. Also the r designation in the r50 and r53 etc meant rover designed then when it became a solely BMW vehicle it changed to a f designation as most BMW'S are.

You can get to most of the engine from there.And it could be just as quick to whip the whole lot out as 1 unit.Engine and box.But top respect to you for doing it the way you did.And if you're reasonably priced. Then even better.Just pisses me off when some twat who claims to be a mechanic tries to mug some people off for doing a job.I had a guy who wanted my 1st Mini for 16 hours to change a gearbox ha ha.
