| I would advise going for the Works package. I feel this package is the best engineered for the mini. Renowned BMW tuners such as Hartge, Hamann, and Dinan all offer their own performance packages but as many say, the JCW package gives you more peace of mind when it comes to warranties. You may be able to get more power out of aftermarket/ individual components but as with most any car, you may see reliability decrease and/or engine life shorten. The supercharged MINI is a great tuning platform... Best of luck finding a car if your still in the market!
