    I had an M7 strut brace on my R53 & it cleared my JCW airbox. Not sure it will work, but it may. FWIW strut braces do very little for MINIs.

    Thanks for your service....

    Oh really you didn't notice a difference with it huh? I was also wondering that as well but I figured most people get them on their cars they feel the difference so I just thought why not, thank you for supporting!

    I don't have an R53, but just eyeballing the pictures it looks like the JCW bar will fit. You might have to remove it to access the filter though. This is a picture of BlimeyCabrio's GPness.
