Mini Badge on Engine.

[Mini1380]

I just remember reading a story about a race team that was able to use a BMW V6 engine in a Mini for a Race spec series because the original Mini engine had a BMW label on it. And the series had a rule that you could repalce the engine with another engine made by the same manufacturer.

well ur on the subject i bought a july 08 cooper with no engine badge but i thought it was normal
must look into it a bit more open a few bonnets

I opened 4 of the bonnets on the showroom cars of my local Sytner, and niether one of them had a badge on the engine, they must have dropped it at some point. Money saving? Or could it be part of the efficient dynamics program, that extra weight could make all the difference!

Lucky you!

My Oct 2008 S has no badge, looks naked without it.

I wish I had removed the one from the 56 plate Cooper I traded in
