You will feel a vibration under acceleration. Also if you open the bonnet and try to rock the engine if you feel movement the mount needs replacing. They don’t last very long I’m afraid. If you’re getting a clunking sound when going over bumps you may find your top mount needs replacing.

@tonythowtovideos6691 thanks mate,I have replaced top one too as u cud c the oil leaking out of it,the mechanic did check the lower one alot of movement and a knocking noise,also for a petrol car when u start it,it shakes never did that before

If there is a lot of movement then the lower will certainly need doing. It’s a quick easy job.

Hello, sorry only just seen this. the black inserts will really increase the vibrations through the engine. if you remove them it removes all of the vibrations.

Hi, no. There is no need to support the engine with a jack. The lower mount acts more of a stabiliser for front to back movement. By changing to the power flex bush you may see the upper mounts wear quicker or may already need replacing.

@@tonythowtovideos6691 My 22’ F56 only has about 7k miles right now. Was looking at this mod to hopefully cut down on wheel hop. Are you saying that you believe changing over to the Powerflex lower bushings will accelerate wear on the upper engine mount? Thanks for your time.

Wheel hop is eliminated by using the Powerflex inserts for the upper engine mount.

No Problem, glad you found it useful

Did you manage to find a good guide for this?

I cut the old bush out. It was starting to perish anyway. They have a very short life I’m afraid. You can’t just buy the bush from Mini. It’s a complete unit. I bought a 2nd hand engine mount and used that instead of cutting up a new one.

The bushes i used are power flex bushes. Google will provide a local stockist to you

@@tonythowtovideos6691 Thanks for quick reply

Hello, the pedal feel was firm and the difference was night and day. They obviously won’t perform the same as the JCW brakes, but these are a 1/10th of the price. The servo is more than capable for the job. These are also fitted on the countryman as well as the X1. To prevent fluid leak when removing the calliper. Depress the brake pedal fully and prop it depressed with a bar between seat and pedal. You can then disconnect the calliper from the brake line without losing fluid.

@@tonythowtovideos6691 Great reply! Cheers 👍

It’s very noticeable through the whole car and the brake pedal. With them removed the vibrations have stopped, The bush performs just as well with the inserts removed

Everything should be the exact same. The Cooper S and One/Cooper share the exact same brakes

Sorry, unable to comment on issues in other countries. This upgrade has no issues in the uk with the MOT inspection

No programming required. Just make sure you bleed them out properly. I would suggest upgrading the brake lines while your doing this to save time later. Yes you can fit cross drilled/slotted discs with no issues.

@@tonythowtovideos6691 oh ok sounds good...I was thinking to use ss lines, race brake fluid and stock sz cross drilled/slotted rotor I will be good?! However BIGGER rotors from x1 won't need programming, which is best?

Question, after installing your swap did you have to have system programmed? Or was there a code/error light after this UPgrade?

Although with standard cooper s wheels(on a 2015 f56 cooper s ) the calipers foul and require 20mm spacers front and 15mm rear .

I’m running 17’s so they will fit inside 18’s no problem.

I saw on forum that we can use standard f56 brakes pads indicator. Thanks for how to, great video. :)

Yes, you can use the standard f56 mini sensor

Yes. According to BMW TIS. The torque is 100nm for all bolts. 4AZ Holder with rubber mount to oil sump F54 / F55 / F56 / F57 / F60 M12 10.9 100 Nm 5AZ Holder with rubber mount to front axle support F54 / F55 / F56 / F57 / F60 M12 10.9 100 Nm

Excellent Tony, thank you!! Any chance you have the specs for the upper mount (hydraulic) as well? Just checked mine yesterday and it’s pretty much destroyed.

Of course.

Yes you will need bimmercode the full version I’m afraid. I have Carly as well but it’s not as good for coding as bimmercode is.

Yes, there are 2 types of brake disc / calliper combo. Make sure you get the 330mm option. 330 will be stamped on top of the calliper.

@@tonythowtovideos6691 do you happen to have part numbers?

@@fbodyrs96 I don’t I’m afraid. If you do a search for BMW X1 F48 330 brake callipers this should help. These are a very good second hand buy, you will need the callipers and carriers to complete the conversion

@@fbodyrs96 Part no's for calipers 57/24/330 TRW CALIPERS ,BMW PART :-6860267-SD20581. Ensure caliper is stamped 330 to make sure it's the right one .Hope this helps ,done the same conversion on my f56 cooper s 👍

Thanks for the comments. Yes these fit with standard 17” wheels. I painted the callipers with high temp spray paint. 4 coats.

@@tonythowtovideos6691 They don't fit with factory 16" wheels, though, correct?

@@davidc-l9174 no I’m afraid these won’t fit 16” wheels.

I removed the black inserts as I didn’t like the vibration coming through the car at idle, No noticeable difference in handling or performance with them in or out.

@@tonythowtovideos6691 how’s the vibration then with the black insert out? Also compared to the oem? Thanks!

@@firmanazis7227 with the black insert removed there is no vibration. Compared to OEM, the gear changes are smoother with less engine movement. The original OEM unit only lasted 10k miles. Bad design by the BMW group

@@tonythowtovideos6691 thanks!

​@@tonythowtovideos6691 i didn't understand what did you do for the vibrations?can you explain it to me

The 3 bolts are M12 10.9.

I will do this for you in the next couple of days

I usually just use a piece of wood on my jack and jack it right on the rocker panel behind the litle block thing then put your jack stand on the block thing, it's the only way I could figure out how to do the same thing haha
