How about European Delivery for MINI?? That’s what they need, they could even do like Porsche and charge extra for it.

Now, on going 60% British, I can only think of the reliability… I hope that they’re not going Lucas Electronics on us.

Underpowered though nice – my uncle owns a 02′ Cooper S with J-Cooper works but its bloody expensive down-under.
2nd hand prices are still well in teh 30K range here for an 02′ S
Bloody stupid- slash the bloody prices BMW!

Why in the world would they slash prices? The little buggers are already huge bargains at $20-$23k. Given the order backlog, BMW has shown amazing self-control not raising prices further.

They don’t need to slash prices if they can sell every one they build at current price levels.

Now if it’d say BMW slashes MINI price by 20% it would actually be worth the news. :/
