Well if you can, do something similar to what volkswagen have done with the petrol golf TSI, turbo and super charge so you get the best of both worlds!

Or BMW could use their twin turbo know how and just stick another turbo on it, this would really boost performance like with the 335d over the 330d

I think BMW would struggle to fit two turbo's into a Mini. But maybe one turbo is a possibility.

A Cooper S Diesel would definately interest me. BMW obviously don't have a good market research sector
