If the Press release is in May, do you know the expected price range for the diesel?

Not yet, but that could become clear at Geneva in March.

I certainly hope so.

Just received an invitation to geneva with a flyer of the diesel mini. Its official name is MINI ONE D. There are some nice pictures of a yellow mini one d, looks pretty nice.

wanted to add the pics but unfortunately upload's not working. will try again later.

le_knut · Feb 15th, 2003, 11:25 AM

here you go

le_knut · Feb 15th, 2003, 11:27 AM

second one

le_knut · Feb 15th, 2003, 11:28 AM

and the last one, not very interesting, but anyway:

Paul · Feb 15th, 2003, 11:32 AM

Cool, it's going to be owned by young and trnedy people who use mobile phones and such, now I really must have one.

Thanks very much for the pics

Agent8008 · Feb 23rd, 2003, 08:34 PM

I want to know what's on the street whizzing by the Minis left side?

Paul · Feb 23rd, 2003, 09:02 PM

That's just a smudge on the lens.

Chris Williams · Feb 23rd, 2003, 09:22 PM

Thanks for the pics...I like the letter D forming part of the badge on the rear.

The yellow smudge is clearly a Cooper!

Regards
Christopher

That's my Cooper S at 135mph whizzing by. Tee hee.

le_knut · Feb 27th, 2003, 05:28 PM

i cannot tell what this smudge really is, but on the flyer, it actually looks like something (majoermike?) is whizzing by... look at the very left side in the back, there's a white car that is also blured

and paul, they are not using a mobile phone but an iPAQ

my Dealer told me today that the diesel mini has probably to be driven at very high rpm if you want to get some power out of the engine and it therefore is mainly a car for italians and Portuguese citizen

sorry, but he did say that

btw, here is the translation of the german text in pic #1, well, at least I try to write english:
There can only be one. MINI One. Now available as diesel. The best choice for those who often drive long distances with skipping gas stations. Even while cruising in the city, the MINI One D is a "might" (or whatever). A "force package" (sorry, that's a german word, dunno an english equivalent) that even with little rpm convices with a high torque. Elasticity with fun factor (whatever this means).

Funny, as of all the MINI's, it delivers peak power loewst in the rev range by far!

scott321172 · Feb 27th, 2003, 06:03 PM

I agree Paul. All the Torque (power) is produced at Low RPM.

I would not like to hit the red line in the diesel as for:
1. It wouldnt reach the red line
2. Rev counter will probably only be red line at 5000 rpm

You wouldnt get anywhere if you kept on revving it all the way to its high revs as its that bloody slow!!

scott321172 · Feb 27th, 2003, 06:05 PM

5000 RPM being kind to the Toyota Diesel Engine.
If only the engine bay was slightly bigger and then 1.9 PD could have been had. Now that could of been something. A 130 BHP OR 150BHP

Or Ford's TDCI 1.8 Range?

Can anyone think of any decent diesel engines that could of been had instead of that 75bhp Toyota one?

here2help · Mar 6th, 2003, 08:01 PM

The recommended retail price for the Mini One D IS £11,385 on the road.

Standard features over mini one are:-

ASC+T
Rev counter with outside temp guage
6 Speed manual gearbox (Getrag)
CVT Not an option
Full aluminium light weight engine
2nd generation bosch turbo-chgd common rail directinjection

And one main differance is in the power steering,it is now Hydraulic Power Steering System (HPAS)

Any idea why?

here2help · Mar 6th, 2003, 08:38 PM

Not yet paul but trust me on onto it...

KenL · Mar 6th, 2003, 08:44 PM

Wonder why ASC+T is standard? I'd have thought it was if anything less necessary than on the petrol ONE.

BrantV · Mar 6th, 2003, 09:49 PM

On slippery surfaces too much torque can be problematic.
