I have to admit I am extremely disappointed that the Mini does not possess a BMW engine. It is one of the things I love most about their cars and I feel is the most important element of a car. I keep hoping BMW are going to announce that the cooper S will be powered by BMW engineering, but so far nothing.

I know they could not afford to sell the Mini at the price they are if they had developed an engine for it. But I personally would not mind paying a bit extra.

So come on BMW sort it out. We want BMW power...

;)
