Nowack, a tuning company based in Germany, are offering three tuning packages for the Mini Cooper S.

Nowack Mini Cooper S

The first package, the N210, involves an ECU remap and freer flowing air filter to push the 1.6-litre turbocharged engine up from 184bhp to 208bhp. The secondĀ  level, N230, takes that a step further by fitting a new sports exhaust to push power up to 228bhp.

The final upgrade, N260, is more extensive in its changes. The conversion includes Nowack’s own high performance sport camshafts, a Nowack downpipe, a completely prepared flow optimised cylinderhead, a stainless steel sport exhaust system, and modifications to the intercooling system and intake air flow, as well as the re-programmed ECU. The final result is an impressive 257bhp from the 1.6-litre engine, and Nowack stress that the extra power is delivered in a smooth and linear fashion.

Lowering springs are available, as well as a replacement coilover suspension. Nowack also offer some cosmetic upgrades, including 18-inch alloy wheels and new leather interior.
