Is it correct? Why even bother with the B48 4 cylinder in the Cooper S and JCW if the 3 cylinder can make this power comfortably and efficiently enough for this vehicle?
I understand the juiced up 3 cyl in the I8 where they are doing everything possible to offset the weight of the electric drive.
Edit: Nevermind, I just saw post 41. It is indeed the B48, not the B38.
Edit2: from the press release:
