Yes that's true but the Mini is a niche product and staying true to the original design has given it packaging issues that a purpose built 0 series wouldn't have. I reckon if the 0 series was priced similarly to that of the Mini it would out sell it 2 to 1.
I also hear complains about a possible switch to fwd for the 1 series, my I tell you that compared to it's rivals the 1 series is a sales flop, this is partly price but mostly packaging, the rwd platform limits the usable passenger space and since most purchases in this sector are from young families space is number one on their list, not driving dynamics.
