New engine for next generation Mini

DAMN! Possibility of a 2.0 there goes the fun of modding a 1.6. Makes all our builds look like R53 builds. I now know how they feel

A 2.0L Turbo engine is what everyone wanted from the get-go. That would make a fun and challenging engine & electronics swap down the road. I don't know about tuning though. It would probably be the same B.S. we dealt with on the N14/N18 engines. Encryption up the 8ss.
The quest for power is cool, but on a FWD car it comes to a point where even if you have a great LSD it becomes a tire burner. I figure i've spent enough time and money on my N14 equipped R56 so i'll stick with it. Next car is definitely a Lotus when the time is right.
