(As with the other new engine, BMW says this one is 20 percent more fuel efficient than last year’s S-model engine.) ----off a website.
this one is supercharged though, i just noticed the tailights.
Ah, I did not know that. Thats pretty cool. However, I'd be willing to bet thats a supercharged model seeing how the '07 Minis arent on sale yet
