MINI F65 JCW Servicing Costs – 5-Door Hatch With Serious Bite
The MINI F65 JCW takes the practicality of the 5-door hatch and cranks up the performance. Powered by the 2.0-litre B48 turbocharged engine, it offers thrilling acceleration, adaptive suspension, and a soundtrack worthy of the JCW badge. But like all high-performance MINIs, it needs proper care to stay sharp.
At The MINI (&BMW) Specialist in Great Bridge, we deliver fixed-price JCW servicing using only OE filters, BMW LL-04 oil, and a keen eye for the high-risk areas — including VANOS valve condition and camshaft timing issues that can trigger the dreaded “Drivetrain Error”.

B48 Turbocharged Engine Care
We check camshaft reluctor alignment, VANOS control valve performance, and PCV systems — all vital on JCW models.
