    So just getting into this car. Seems its a all, the motor, BMW design and build? The N20 seems to have many uses? Z4 at 240 bhp, more on wiki..... Seems the MCS will be at 189-192? Heard even AMG did one at 360bhp! Looks like its all in the way BMW releases it in its platform? But, big thing is, it's still the exact same motor. Any thoughts?

    Yea I saw that article, very good. But I was kinda asking the Mini community what they are thinking about it? Do you think they will let the JCW use the 240bhp platform? How easy do you think it would be to change the platform in the ECU to the other configurations? This engine gets its max torque at 1250 rpm, that could be very interesting.

    Nobody can answer your question until the car is released and the aftermarket looks at what they can do with the car.

    It's not like MINI / BMW works with anyone besides its own JCW group prior to a new model release to design upgrades / OEM mods.

    They are not like Ford or GM or other manufactures that provide Pre production cars to specific aftermarket businesses to R&D upgrades or custom mods.
