The Engines
Finally there are the engines. The B37/B38 are built on a modular platform that increases .5L for every cylinder. That means that these engines essentially 1/2 or 2/3 of the revered 3.0L BMW inline six. Crucially, both engines are now turbocharged, giving the Cooper more power and as much torque as the R53 Cooper S.
Horsepower:
- Cooper: 134 bhp (up from 121)
- Cooper S: 189 bhp (up from 184)
Torque:
- Cooper: 162 lb-ft (up from 114; a 30% increase)
- Cooper S: 207 lb-ft (up from 191)
This increase in power and torquer makes both faster but gives the Cooper in particular a substantial increase in performance. The 0-60 mph times bear out the car’s increase in power and aerodynamics:
0-60 Times:
- Cooper Auto: 7.3 seconds (down from 9.6 – with the same Automatic!)
- Cooper Manual: 7.4 seconds (down from 8.4)
- Cooper S Auto: 6.4 seconds (down from 7.8 – with the same Automatic!)
- Cooper S Manual: 6.5 seconds (down from 6.6)
0-60mph/ 0-96km/h
Krass... der neue Cooper sprintet fast gleich schnell wie der jetziger Cooper S!!
