NORCAL MINIS: Carbon Fiber Components Coming To MINIs?

MotoringFile discusses a rumor that MINI is testing carbon fiber components:

. . . Deep inside the halls at BMW engineers are testing carbon fiber components (and more specifically a lightweight hood) for future MINIs. . . .

BMW is also working on "CF body panels, wheels, steering wheels, suspension components and even seat frames."
