Question:
Car is a 2016 Cooper 2 door with the 1.5L 3 cylinder. the description shows it fits the R56 2016, but the search box shows it does not fit I did see another socket, but it was not available. will this socket fit the plugs on the 2016 R56?
Answer:
Yes, the G2NME3008 socket will work with the spark plugs on your 2016 F56 Cooper Hardtop. If you remove the 'may car' setting, you should be able to order it.

I corrected the setting on the part so it should work correctly after the next update in a couple hours.
