IceBoy They didn't have a Toyota engine. The OLD 1st Gen R50 MINI One Diesel produced from 2003 to 2006 had a Toyota sourced 1.4 diesel engine, the same as found in the Yaris (D4-D). The new R56 MINI (Autumn 2006 onwards) had a PSA sourced diesel fitted in the CooperD up until late 2010/early 2011 (no-one knows the exact switch date) when it then switched over to BMWs own 1.6 diesel which is produced in house at Hams Hall in Birmingham - alongside the petrol prince engine. MINI One Diesel (1st Gen R50)  The above is distinguishable as even after the facelift (note the facelifted Xenons on the car above) the OneD soldiered on with pre-facelifted bumpers up until its demise in 2006. Here is the PSA diesel engine from the 2nd Gen R56 CooperD:  The later BMW engine had a much larger engine cover, more like the one used on the 2.0 litre models.

The switch date was September 2010 when the cars were facelifted. The latest engine is a BMW unit. The easy way to from under the bonnet is the PDA diesel had the turbo at the front. The BMW engine, the turbo is at the rear of the bay
