    All I can think of is James May's Nuburgring rant.


    I still want to reserve judgement until I see / drive one.

    :cornut: The engine that's in the MINI. There's only 1 engine in a factory MINI.(I'm just remembering when you posted on 'Made This Today'. "I made this out of Aluminium." Crashton and I commented that it some what resembled an aircraft fuselage and asked what it was and you come back with,"Itzaluminium.") Payback:lol::lol::lol:

    I figure that MINI is not powered by any 3 cyl lump..... Sounds like it has the beans. :)

    It's an S, which would make it the Prince engine. Initially only the non-S gets a 3-cyl, and the S will continue with the Prince for a couple of years.

    No, it's the new BMW 2.0 4 cylinder engine. The new S will have it in March of 2014.
