So like I said, I think this article is off base. Maybe @Scott26 can shed more light on this.

I will reply later but this relates to lessons learned with current models of BMW 1er and separate MINI (Not the F56) and how to improve in the future in which the MINI and BMW alignment is going to be far more profitable for MINI than before and its benefits that will be incurred with BMW.

BMW have an ingenious way of cost effective cost-cutting that is actually hugely beneficial to future models. Learn more later...
