BMW has officially confirmed the introduction of the diesel model to the United States market following our recent meetings with their North American representatives. We succeeded in demonstrating the viability of this request and I am shifting my focus to monitoring the final distribution timelines.

I have finished drafting a formal proposal detailing the market demand for the Cooper D to send to the North American corporate headquarters. My next step is to initiate contact with representatives in the product planning department to present the case for this engine configuration.

I owned a 2004 hatch back. Retired at 196,000 mi Now driving 2006 S with 238,000 miles. I am 66, ready to retire and want to travel in the style and comfort I have found in mini while having an all wheel with diesel economy. Being retired the economy will be weighted heavily in final selection. Thank You in Advance
With the pending VW settlement - I would think some buyers would like another option in diesel. I know I would like to trade my golf for a mini.
The EU has set stricter standards to bring their standards more in-line wit hthe US's . . why can't we get the Mini Cooper now?
Need more competition in Diesel sales and to bring up MINI sells pass the 14% it lost this past quarter.
keep in mind bits nit up to BMW..to bring the D model. read below airplane fuel regular gas diesel kerosene burning alcohol... as you could see Diesel and kerosene.is almost at the bottom of the list. diesel is cheaper than gas to refine why? ..needs less oxigen..that simple. the US.gov. dept of transportation.jack up the tax. so the trucking company.has to pay more for fuel to delivery our goods....are you with me?? now you get a ""D ""Mini...that gets samevmpg as a moped........then the following day....no body.will want to buy gas...........did you get....or should l repeat it again............back in 1985..l has a VW.Rabbit.Diesel...it cost me $7.00.to drive it from Nyc to Boston...Amtrak.train was $50.00(electric) the oil companies...WOULD HATE THAT. IIF BMW is allowed to bring.Diesel engines D.in mini coopers..it will cost you in fuel.$7.00.from NYC..to Philadelphia.... if you do that in a car.suv..truck..etc..you are spending.$20 to $40...depend hoe much trsfgi/how fast..YOU may go. do l want A Diesel.mimi..with 60mpg?YES do l want the Mini D now in 2021? YES ""you may say l am a Mini D dreamer but l am sure that l am not the 0nly 0ne
