The 1.6 hdi 110 hp will be perfect on the mini ... I have no worries about this engine ... just a few worries about how much bmw reduced making costs of the next mini. Maybe I am wrong about this feeling. Mini and Bmw play their images. We will see. I hope they did a good work finally.

I have heard from a Bmw/Mini dealer that Mini dealers will be separated from Bmw dealers ... Bmw does not want to be impacted if the Mini has flaws ?

I read a few of your other posts and first of all hello and welcome to MINI2

You wrote that you work for Peugeot and that you are currently in Oxford MINI plant. Hmm...just a thought. Why would you need to go to a Peugeot dealer (open doors) to try a new 207 if you are a Peugeot employee?

Just thinking about your 2007 MINI post (thread)...

Never mind, I wish you all a nice weekend
