My MCS hasn't logo on the engine

i have a MCS 2009 for 3 days ago, and i realise that my mcs hasn't logo on the engine. I search many mini's engine photos and i found 1 photos like my problem. This is general for 2009 models or it is mistake. Please help me

I think no logo is standard now

I also just took delivery about 2 wks ago, and I don't have a logo on my engine either. I know there's another thread out there that discusses this, and I think the consensus was that it was removed for 2009.

Would I like to have a logo there, sure, but it's nothing I'm overly concerned about. I guess I could buy one for a few bucks if I felt it was important to me.

Use the search function and I think you'll find your answer.

That is kind of odd the hear that '09's no longer have the MINI logo on top of the engine.My '08 MCS has it.

I know this is very minor but maybe it is part of the cost cutting they are doing on the 09's.

Maybe it's step 1 of narrowing down the source of the cold start chatter...

Seems like it was no longer installed after sometime in March of 2008.

I have a week 12 (18 March '08) and no engine logo.

...and I have a late February '08 build, with the logo, so your March, 2008 estimate seems about right.
This is an unusual deletion. I can't imagine the small plastic logo costing more than a few bucks, and it certainly enhances the brand image and the look of the engine. There have got to be better places to save a couple of bucks per car!

Is this the Mini logo you are talking about? My car was built June 27th of 2008.

Strange phenomena.

Both my 2008 and my 2009 have an emblem just as on futuremini's photo.

Yeah, what's the big deal? The engine isn't even made by Mini anyway...

Just out of curiosity, can someone post a pic of their MINI engine cover with the logo missing? Maybe some people like the "clean" look?

Not built by MINI?

Maybe they should have Peugeot logos on them. If I ever get an R56 it will have one.

We might as well have them put a badge on the car for every manufacturer who supplies any part for them.

I went to the site that miniclubman provided, went to the "MINI Triangle" link, and there on the scrolling graphic header I see a close up photo of a hand affixing the MINI logo to the engine cover. How ironic.

There are some engine parts on the R56 that have "EU" stamped on them, rather than a particular country. That was a new one on me.
