Automobile writes that it does not look like the BMW - PSA (Peugeot/Citroen) Partnership will get any closer. The present MINI four cylinder engine is a result of the partnership, but, based on comments by BMW chairman Norbert Reithofer, while PSA might be involved in R&D or the upcoming 3-cylinder engine, but, closer convergence with BMW products is likely. Automobile also reports that the BMW PSA joint Project i team has come up with a MINI branded "metro scooter"
that they say will out perform other electric scooters in the market. No date has been set for its debut or release.
