R56 Cooper Diesel details - MINI Cooper Forum

Interludio44 · #1 (**permalink**) Nov 7th, 2006, 05:33 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

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
