2012 JCW to retain current engine?

Has anyone seen this? I vaguely recall a reference to the engine in an article I read but haven't seen it since. An engine carryover means I don't have to buy a new IC or tuner box (I hope)
I'll be ordering a 2012 JCW to replace my S, just waiting to see whether I fit in the new coupe or not.

Are you maybe thinking about the 2013 JCWs having the same engines? 2012 should have no difference at all... at least not until the expected 2013 major re-design.

Nope, ordering a 2012 and just hoping to keep my access port and intercooler. I like my S convertible but it's not quite fast enough.

I haven't seen any indication that 2012 will be any different than 2011 other than JCW Aero pkg being standard and probably a requisite price increase!

Good news, though I expect the new standard aero package price increase will be less than what the total cost is now.

It was reported on MF that the JCW engine is not changing for 2012. But they also hinted at some other "change" coming this fall which they cannot yet discuss.

MINI plans to offer four models starting with the 121 hp Cooper Coupe (awkward isn’t it?). Next in the chain is the 143 hp Cooper SD (n/a in the US) and the 181 hp Cooper S. Finally book-ending the line-up will be the JCW which (despite rumors) features the same engine it’s had since the 2009 launch. But we’re not ready to call that a disappointment. With 208 hp and the best character of any engine in the line-up since the GP we’d have a hard time not opting for it if we were also considering a Cooper S.

I live in Australia, and a friend of mine is buying a 2011 Factory JCW, and his dealer is INSISTING that the new JCW engines are different to the 2009 JCW engines? I told him that the dealer was mistaken, and I'm just looking to double check with everyone here.

I check motoringfile, and couldn't find anything

Any response would be appreciated.

If you read through this article, it says there will be no change.
