I'm getting worried about the new engine for the MINI. Not that it will be of the same or better quality over the current engine, rather I am worried about the lack in engine improvements in horsepower and what not. If there are aftermarket superchargers for the MCS that can greatly improve the horsepower of the MCS over the JCW while at the same time costing around the same amount (+/- 1k). Would it not seem to be in BMW best interest to give MCSs with the new engine a greater increase in horse power, say 190-200? I am aware that the new MCS will be turbo charged, but still, I'd expect a greater increase in overall horsepower in the MCS, not jut the MC, as seen in the production list for the new engines.
