The new MINI engines were developed in cooperation with PSA Peugeot Citroen. BMW was fully responsible for engine negineering & development, while PSA for manufacturing, purchasing & logistics. The engines will be produced in BMW / MINI engine plant in England (for MINI), and in PSA plant in France (for PSA cars). Regarding the big speedo: it's so big to incorporate nav screen in the nav equipped models. | |

I read a statistic that the Mini has the highest product malfunction to repeat customer ratio of any "normal" car. And by normal, I mean non-exotic car. Minis have been problem prone, yet their clientele keep coming back for more, regardless. |

Powertrain is dissapointing... I would have liked to see a 150 hp base and a 200 hp S model to rival the GTI in power figures. |
