MINI2

Interludio44 · Nov 7th, 2006, 04:33 PM

I have the Motoringfile RSS feed on my homepage and just spotted a new entry called "R56 MINI Cooper Diesel Ready for Launch". When I clicked on it, it took me to a non-existing entry.

Perhaps the article needed some amendments before being published.

Well, whatever, this is good! I wasn't expecting any more R56 Diesel news for at least a month.

You should know what we all have for some time. MINI2 should be your first source for MINI Info.

I'm very interested in any info on the new diesel! At least 100bhp with awesome economy...yes please!

Exactly my thoughts. The only thing that put me off the original One D was the lack of power.

Get it superchipped and that will soon sort that problem out!

Would be nice to see a decent diesel engine in the MINI. 130 / 140bhp would be ideal, but i'd be amazed if they ever put that sort of power in it.

During the presentation drink about 10 days ago on of the MINI sellers told me Cooper diesel would be for 2007 with 110hp.

Now that would be OK - probably have more torque than the "S" with that level of power from a diesel

Olly. · Nov 8th, 2006, 09:38 AM

If it is a 110bhp engine, i'm assuming it will be the one thats just gone into the 207?

Peugeot 207 - 1.6 HDi Sport (110bhp) 3d - Technical Data - Parker's

If it's that engine, then same torques as an "S" without it's overboost

hyperbluejames · Nov 8th, 2006, 04:54 PM

although they got the current diesel figures wrong, I would LOVE a 110bhp diesel! now that i would swap my beloved Cooper for!

If the price predictions are correct we in Portugal can expect to pay over €30.000,00 for one cooper diesel

Interludio44 · Nov 8th, 2006, 08:48 PM

Quarter, why is that? £13,500 = €20,130 -- why are you expecting to have to pay 50% over the UK price?

quarter · Nov 8th, 2006, 08:59 PM

Well in Portugal we have double taxation when we buy a new car.
We have the VAT but also have the "Automotive Tax" so to speak. It's calculated based on the engine size. What's the price of the "old" mini cooper s in the UK?
Here is around 30.000€ with no optionals.

fontes79 · Nov 8th, 2006, 09:22 PM

Infelizmente, nao é Quarter.
We haven't any luck here in Portugal, when we need to buy a new car, we have to by a worst car for the same price of other countries buy better ones...

Would it not save you money to buy one from France or Spain?

It depends.
If it's new you still have to pay the "Automotive Tax" in full.
Concerning the age of the car you'll get a lower tax and the older cars pay less tax.
it begins to compensate if you import cars with 2 years minimum.
With the VAT and this one the prices of the cars are raised about 40% off the "base" price.
It's revolting having one of the lowest incomes in Europe and still have to buy cars as if we were in Germany, France or the Uk.

The thing is no one does anything about it.
All the governments don't want to end this because they are a very important to their budget.
And don't forget the taxes on fuel, 60% of the price per lt is tax...

Hurray for Portugal

weeeeeeeeee............
