    Welp, raking the windows like that might improve milage, but it does kind of reduce the MINIness, imo. I think it creates the illusion of a longer bonnet, or if there actually is a longer bonnet, it makes it more noticeable.

    Most definately more front overhang....

    Must be a BMW thing right now, we went and looked at the new 3 series for the wife and they are positvely huge next to her E46, with a lot of front overhang. Not a three it is....:(

    No wheel gap in any of those photos. Or it leans a lot.

    Judging by the bumper in the first photo, looks like lean :frown2:

    I hope there is a LOT of camo, because that thing is UGLY!

    It appears that BMW is slowly converting the Mini into a HatchBack BMW.

    Its not a Mini any more; its grown too large to be called a Mini .........

    Sorry BMW, you have missed the mark; Glad I bought a Mini when it was still " MINI "

    I'd like to see it next to an R53/R56. Because if it's gonna look like we think, they just guaranteed a VERY strong used MINI market and need to start producing more Gen 1/2 parts!
