Mini News Most liked posts in thread: 2014 F56 Launch Photos

The more I see the F56, the more I like it. I definitely prefer the Cooper's grill design over the S. Its cleaner looking with the chrome drawing my eye away from the black bumper. I also think the white bonnet stripes make the LED headlight rings stand out less. So I'm not getting the "startled expression" when looking at it. I'd really like to see the S in another color scheme because I have a feeling it would make a difference.

Of course I want to see one in person, especially with so many writing the F56 off as "too big." Overall I think both models are recognizably MINI though and I wouldn't hesitate to own one. That said I plan on being joined at the hip with my R56 for several more years. :biggrin5:

 

Bite your tongue Freddy. rrr:

 

Like this???

 

Thanks Dave.0, needed that (not).

Long live the 'Guppy'!

^^^^ It looks like the ugly Guppy looking F56 has a new fish tank in the F55.

 

But give it time and MINI / BMW will make it worse. :lol::lol::ihih::ihih::lol::lol:

 

Wouldn't it be a Mini?

 

Does this engine have an electronic engine oil level sensor or a plain old fashion dipstick?

 

X2. For me, the word that describes the exterior and interior of the F56 - especially the S - is "cluttered." It looks like they tried to cram one of everything into the design, both inside and out. :frown2:

 

A couple of things that stand out to me. One, the tail lights look like they are from a CountryguyPacman, mucho to biggo. Two, the bumper being a black bar through the grill. Sure makes the grill look way to large for the car.

Even with a longer schnozzola there still is precious little room to work on the engine. Maybe service mode is easier to attain.

Given enough time even Dave O will love it. :smilewinkgrin:

 

I think we will see more body kits more so than usual..
I'm loving the new engine specs though!

 

While not beautiful -- I can overlook that if it really delivers on the driving experience.

 

Sorry, not feeling it.. Maybe later but not now.

 

Are those 18s on the S? Also, I don't hate it. I like carp and catfish. As an R56 owner, I will admit that the best Looking MINI is a lowered R53 but I LOVE passing them in my R56.

 

I would have to put the Justa front on the S. It's so much better. Then body color the chrome around the tail lights. They would look smaller then. The overall diameter of the wheel/tire is too small. They look lost. I don't think it's something lowering springs is going to help.

The mechanicals sound great and the interior is better than I thought.

 

X2. Fortunately, you don't have to look at it while you're driving it.

 

Here's the Aero Kit if you haven't seen it...

:frown2:

 

Hoping that's someone messing with photoshop and not the real deal...

Too tacky ony.... ugh

 

The F56 just needs "Eyelashes" to go with the 3/4 Halo eye shadow. :crazy::idea::lol:

 

^^^ Yes, but I'm trying to be positive.
