Maximum "Go-Kart" Feeling, Unlocked
You didn't buy a MINI to blend in; you bought it for the "Go-Kart Feeling"—that instantaneous connection between the steering wheel, the road, and the driver. Whether you are zipping through traffic in a Cooper S Hardtop, exploring with a Countryman ALL4, or enjoying the open air in a Convertible, your MINI is an icon of fun. However, modern regulations and BMW-derived factory ECU settings often dampen that spirited character, creating noticeable turbo lag and a throttle pedal that feels softer than the chassis deserves.
The Stage 2 SMARTTUNE with AI Technology is the upgrade that puts the "pop" back in your motoring. This isn't a generic resistor; it is a sophisticated, AI-driven OBD2 module that interfaces directly with your MINI’s advanced engine management system. It learns your driving style—whether you are hypermiling in Green Mode or attacking corners in Sport Mode—to unlock the razor-sharp response and punchy torque that makes a MINI truly feel like a giant slayer.
Optimized for TwinPower Turbo and JCW Performance
MINI’s powertrain lineup (BMW B-Series and older Prince engines) is capable of incredible output. Our AI technology is specifically calibrated to adapt to the unique characteristics of these 3-cylinder and 4-cylinder turbo engines, enhancing their natural peppiness without sacrificing reliability.
-
Wake Up the 3-Cylinder: For Cooper (1.5L) owners, turbo lag can make the car feel hesitant off the line. We optimize the signal to provide up to 50% better throttle response, making the car feel eager and punchy the moment the light turns green.
-
Cooper S & JCW Punch: The 2.0L TwinPower Turbo is a gem, but the factory map smoothes out the torque delivery too much. The SMARTTUNE sharpens the boost onset, providing a more aggressive shove into the seat and making the exhaust "pops" feel more distinct during spirited driving.
-
Countryman/Clubman Torque: These larger models carry more weight. Gain up to 28.6 ft·lbs of added torque, which is transformative for the ALL4 system, helping you climb hills or carry passengers without the engine feeling strained.
-
DCT & Auto Smoothness: Designed to work in harmony with the Steptronic and Dual-Clutch Transmissions (DCT). The chip helps bridge the gap between shifts, reducing the "lurch" sometimes felt at low speeds and keeping the power delivery silky smooth.
Custom Programmed for Your Specific MINI
This module utilizes the OBD2 port to detect your vehicle's specific VIN and powertrain profile. It then applies the correct mapping adjustments tailored to your exact model generation.
-
Models Supported: Specifically calibrated for Hardtop 2-Door/4-Door (F56/F55), Countryman (F60/R60), Clubman (F54/R55), Convertible (F57/R57), Coupe/Roadster (R58/R59), and Paceman.
-
Engine Tech: Automatically detects and adjusts for B38 (1.5L 3-Cyl), B48 (2.0L 4-Cyl), N14/N18 (1.6L Turbo), and W11 (Supercharged) powertrains.
-
Adaptive Learning: The onboard AI processor analyzes your specific vehicle's sensor data over the first 200 miles, creating a bespoke map that maximizes agility while maintaining daily drivability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this work with my "Green/Mid/Sport" modes?
Yes. The chip enhances the baseline performance of the engine. "Green" mode will feel less lethargic without losing efficiency, while "Sport" mode will feel even sharper and more aggressive.
Does it affect the JCW exhaust pops and bangs?
The chip optimizes combustion and throttle response, which often results in crisper, more distinct exhaust overrun sounds in Sport mode, though it does not artificially add them if your car doesn't already have them.
Is it safe for the older R53/R56 models?
Yes. For the Supercharged R53 and Turbo R56, the chip breathes new life into the engine, often smoothing out the rough idle and hesitation common in high-mileage examples.
Will it help my Countryman feel faster?
Absolutely. The extra torque provided by the Stage 2 tune helps offset the heavier body of the Countryman, making it feel lighter on its feet and much more responsive in city traffic.
