Talking What was BMW thinking?! (MCS/rx8 engine)

This morning when i woke up at 3am to get ready for school, dont ask me why i got up so early, i began surfing the web on the new Mazda RX8. That thing is a beast!!!! Its Rotary Engine is SMALLER and LIGHTER than MCS's engine AND produces 250hp !!!

So, what im wondering is....why doesnt BMW develop and use a Rotary engine for the Mini ??? It would be lighter, smaller, and faster! So if any BMW/Mini people read this...how bout make a M Cooper w/ a rotary engine hehe


For info on Mazda's new rotary engine and RX8 info, checkout http://www2.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/rx8/index.jsp

Motor on!
