Okay, I'm going to be the idiot here and hang the dumb question out there:
Can any tuner get the N18 to have the fuel overrun (pop/burble) like the factory JCW cars? This is really the deciding factor between having this done or buying the JCW kit. On the N14, other tuners found the cells for overrun, so it's certainly possible.
Petty, I know... I just love that sound...

no tune yet, just stock

it is more subdued than the hardtops, i suspect the different exhaust and size of the car has something to do with it
since i put the milltek downpipe-back exhaust on the pop/burble is more noticable

I'm going to clarify really quickly...
I have a full cutout and a 2nd cat and res delete. I'm pretty much straight-piped. Ergo, I'm going to have pretty much the most popping you can derive from the "S" trim.
Here is the truth: fJCW cars have at least 200% more pop/burble due to the overrun than any "S" model does. I will post videos if some of you have never heard fJCWs.
Regardless, enough of that. The question is:
Have any of the tuners been able to modify the fueling overrun tables?

Not sure if I asked this already and NM hasnt responded yet. Is it possible for the dealer to flash my tune back to stock and if so does NM cover reflashes? Really trying to avoid getting another ECU to swap out for the yearly trips to the dealer for inspection stickers, free oil changes and the occasional recall.

-$500 first-time flash
-Free flash updates (if they change something in the tune)
-Free flash back to stock
-$50 to re-flash tune after you've been flashed to stock.

Daaang, seems like MINI is on top of things. I wouldn't be surprised if they constantly keep re-programming encryptions every so often to combat the tuning issue.....(I'm sure it's an issue to them, not us of course haha)

Well that sucks, looks like I will be going with NM or RennTech. I was looking forward to them hearing good things until you just said that.
