Looks like a lot of fun if it weren't electric. :frown2:

 

Well you have all the tree huggers to blame for electric cars. Which are not saving out planet at all and if anything they are making it worse.

Where do people think electric comes from?
How are batteries made?
Where do the old batteries go?

Idiots:mad2:

 

Even better use this:

 

With Vision..... The buzz will be uprated speakers instead of uprated exhaust for the vrooom vrooom noise....

 

Use a fuel cell instead of batteries.

 

They already failed with a MINI Roadster before from a sales standpoint. I like the looks of the Roadster and it would look even better after I modded one. :ihih:

They already made a MINI E that was lease. Nothing became of that. This is a We could but we wont. BMW / MINI just wanted to show us how they were wasting money and why our parts and repairs cost so damn much.

Next thing you know they will make a 4 door MINI hardtop. :frown2::ihih::lol: http://www.motoringalliance.com/forums/mini-stuff/22661-mini-hardtop-4-door-configurator-up.html#post277217

 

The more I look at that car the worse it gets. :nonod:

 

OK, so I drive to gramma's house using 70% of my stuff. Gramma doesn't have anyplace to get more stuff and the closest place to get more stuff takes 40% of a full charge of stuff to get to. So, either don't ever go visit gramma or once you get there let her keep it for a planter and walk home. Makes perfect sense to me.

 

The wheels and mirrors look okay.

 

I think it is a pretty sweet little car. There are a few things that need to be changed, like a fossil fueled power plant but for the most part I think it hits a lot of the wickets that everyone is complaining about the F56.

My favorite... very simple and classy!

 

They wont make it EVER. It's just a teaser.

 

Like all other manufactures this is but one of the many reasons our cars cost so much. These R&D/prototype cars they either spent a fortune to build or paid another company to build knowing full well they aren't going to manufacture it..

 

As it sits I totally agree. Just based on the materials I dont see how it would be cost effective for BMW to manufacture this concept on a large scale.

I have read a few articals on the Superleggra MINI and the Head dude for MINI production really wants to see this hit the streets. The question is will the bang be worth the buck R&D cost if it ever makes the street?

 

If the Roadster and Coupe fall by the way side this car has no tie in with MINI. If the roadster hangs around it could be morphed into this.. or just another model down the road I guess.. They'd have to be careful with the price or it will end up on the "way side" with the Roadster/Coupe...
