MINI R57 Convertible JCW Servicing Costs – Top-Down Thrills, Track-Ready Turbo
The MINI R57 JCW Convertible is the ultimate open-top version of the second-gen MINI. With the N14 (or N18 post-facelift) 1.6-litre turbo engine producing over 210bhp, it combines go-kart handling with genuine performance. But like all high-output engines, it needs precise maintenance.
At The MINI (&BMW) Specialist in Great Bridge, we provide fixed-price JCW servicing using OE-quality parts, MINI-trained technicians, and full inspections of boost control, cooling, chain wear, and roof operation. No guesswork — just proper care for your performance MINI.

MINI R57 JCW Convertible FAQs
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Which engine does the JCW Convertible use? | Early models use the N14 turbo engine; later ones switched to the N18. Both require frequent oil changes and careful chain/turbo inspections. |
| What are the top issues to watch for? | Oil leaks from the oil filter housing, turbo oil feed pipes, thermostat leaks, valve stem seal wear, and timing chain rattle. We check all these as standard. |
| Do you inspect the convertible roof? | Yes — we inspect roof mechanism function, drainage, boot sensor operation, and alignment on every R57 JCW. |
| Can you reset the service system? | Absolutely. We reset the onboard reminder and update the digital service history where available. |
| Does performance use increase wear? | Yes — spirited driving can accelerate timing wear, carbon build-up and oil consumption. That’s why regular servicing is even more important on a JCW. |
