New Mini question

Sep 19, 2003 4 Replies

Before BMW did the dirty on Rover was the K-series engine destined for the new Mini?



If it wasn't does anybody know why?



The reason for asking is that the Mini's engine, which I think I read as being a Chrysler engine?, often gets criticised. Whereas the K-series seems to always get the thumbs up.



Regards.


No, it was always going to be a South American joint development for the engine with DC

Why was the K-series considered inappropriate I wonder?

Regards.

There was As far as I can remember, some discussion about the homologation for the USA and other countries being a problem.

'New' Mini? - Hey, I thought this was Rover newsgroup not a BMW one ;-)
