    Does that mean MINI will replace all the models by then? That would be ahead of time for a number of them.

    Sadly, finance. The most boring job in the world.

    They should be able to do better than 300 HP since in the "aftermarket" world you can get 250, 300 and even 400 hp that's reliable from a Mini without NOS.

    Then again that's for a 1st Gen R53 so 300 hp for a 3rd or 4th Gen may be ok.
