There's enough overhang there for a Tiki bar and a decent sized plasma screen, so there's a reasonable place to start.
For me, It would never fly being all one color. I like the yellow for the bottom, but the top would have to be turquroise. The gas tank inlet would need to be on the drivers side. The tail pipes would have to be on each side, not both in the middle. I would like someday to see mini's tail lamps leaning back in a fin shape on each side. And the hood scoop needs to be wider and taller to stand out more. Thank ya very much. Bullit Bob
I am hoping the car wins me over in person it is hard to tell from photos. I think the front grill is big and bulky and the lower grill is not flattering. But maybe this will bring down under hood temps on the turbo model. From a front/side view the front looks abruptly cut off. I would miss the gas filler being on the driver side. I am not sure I like the large tail lights. I am hoping the car wins me over in person it is hard to tell from photos.
I haven't read all the comments, but I think it's the best looking hatchback since the R53. I like the WRC styling resemblance.
Don't blame your shoulder, blame your cataracts. No amount of issues from your shoulder could make that front grill look even remotely respectable.
Like to hear what the purpose is of the "black bar" across the front. A few other cars have done that as well.. Why not just make it body color, or part of the grille so it doesn't stand out so much. Like someone mentioned maybe it won't look as bad on a black car.. Not sure about all BMW's but the 1 series my wife has the gas door is on the right side!! For those that said they could never drive a car with the gas cap over there..
