As mentioned the 2.0 litre HDi does not offer a significant performance gain on the engine already in the Cooper D, a re-map would see the figures that the 2.0 HDi is currently offering.
In my opinion they need a lightweight engine between 1.8 / 2.0 litres that is producing around 150 / 160bhp as standard. This will also hopefully leave room for the after market peeps to tune the car to around 170 / 180 bhp.
Those kind of figures would put the car well into MCS territory though, so the question would be whether MINI would want to take away sales from the current flagship (the S) ?
