The Press Release states "exterior length up by approximately 60 millimetres or 2.76".

60mm is 2.36" and 2.76" is 70mm ... which is it?

That's a good question. They kept saying 60mm at the launch, and that's the "native" measurement, so I'd go with that. I believe 4car (or one of the other publications there) quoted 70mm, but the BMW people were saying 60mm to us at the event.

Another typo like the Cooper torque conversion

Quote:

The MINI Cooper features a normal-aspiration power unit developing maximum output of 88kW/120hp at 6,000 rpm and peak torque of 160 Nm/188lb-ft at 4,250 rpm.

It's not the length but what you do with it that counts.

Sorry couldn't resist it.
