[MCD]

Has anybody taken delivery of a Mini Cooper D?
I have one on order but I don't think there are any, or any that are ready to drive in Australia yet
I was the first diesel order from my dealer.
I am expecting 30th August delivery, hope its not delayed!

hello! from what I've seen the MCD were not yet delivered (i m waiting too for MCD)... there was a recall in diesel ... here in Portugal no one received any diesel ... just there in the dearl for test drive. but strangely in Germany are for sale ... here's some examples:

Why isn't the US getting the diesel?

From what I understand, the problems with the diesel engines have now been sorted, and they are once again on the production line, but there's a backlog.

I asked the same thing... Dealer had no idea

In US diesel cars are penalized in taxes? or maybe it's the opposite here in Portugal must exist for each 100 MCD 10MCS and 5MC here diesel is cheaper, but is more expensive MCD than a MC...MC has almost no expression in the Portuguese market, the U.S. probably would waste the MCD, the importer of U.S. for example has an MCS for the full-extras here an MCS with these extra costs next € 45,000 and the MCD cost 35.000€(only an estimate) but I believe U.S. like having a car that say Do 1.100km (683 miles) whith one deposit!!!
For exemple 1 liter of Gasoline cost 2.17 dollars, 1 liter of Diesel cost 1.76 dollars here in Portugal
