This couldn't even be considered a marketing stunt as it is a qualification for selling automobiles in California. MINI itself is just a way for BMW to sell FWD cars that raise their fleet fuel economy average without "polluting" the BMW brand. Chassis and upholstery are nothing more than accessories for BMW engine products. It's a shame that BMW farms out the MINI engine. I like BMW engines better than PSA engines. MINI is already BMW's electric car.

I want one.

 

I want a Clubman version. If I had no kids at home, the coupe would be fine.

Wonder what the range will be.
