True,


There are so many things that could happen. For all we know they might enhance the 3 cil to a certain point just for 125i, like they did for their new BMW i8 car. But i don't know how cost effective that would be.

Imo, i don't see the 125i getting the new 3 cilinder, i think thats pushing the power available in that engine (enhanced versions not included). It wouldn't compare good to the power the 125i now has unless i'm missing something...
The new 125i might get a stronger 4 cil or just stay the way it is.

It's probably gonna be equal, but i see more future in the petrol versions of the new engine than diesels if we look at performance they can give.

To make it look simple i think: all minis (except JCW versions), 114, 116, 316, 318 the new engine for sure.
