rickrover..
 
Mini Cooper S Works will cost about 2000 pounds more than Cooper S model.
 
news..
Cooper's garage claim that their engineers are already getting 192hp from the current 1.6-litre supercharged engine.
 
Another info..
 
There is rumor that BMW has secret plan to develop a small capacity direct engine for use in the new Mini and forthcoming BMW 2-series.
 
I'm sure everybody knows that new Mini's 1.6-litre four cylinder engine is built in Brazil by Tritec-joint venture between BMW and Chrysler(not Daimler Chrylser). This engine is cheap to produce but technically deficient by BMW standards. Actually this engine was planned for the Rover car(code name R30). However, BMW no longer in possession of Rover.
 
BMW's new engine will replace the current 1.6- litre engine in the middle of the decade.

I'd definitely like a look at the Mini. I'm not looking to replace my Golf for at least 2 more years so I should be right on time.

I just discovered BMW has a website for the US Mini as well - www.miniusa.com. It has a map of the US with the number of Mini dealers that will be in each part of a state. They aren't saying what actual dealers names are of the BMW dealers yet. They said they will have that information sometime during the first quarter of 2000. All I know is my BMW dealer waited over a month to cash my deposit check, they say they are definately one of the selected dealers now.
