You're not... Even if I have the 135 dedicated for track days, I like my X1 for what it's capable of. It's a great base to cool mods. The new one is not. BMW wants to make money with a cheaper car sold at the same price. I won't follow them on this route, but I'm sure a lot will.
It will have plenty of aftermarket support, just like every Mini. It will be interesting to see if Mini keeps the weight any lower, or if the new Countryman will weigh 1,000 pounds more than the Cooper.
