Most liked posts in thread: The 3RD GEN MINI unveiled

I like what I see from the side and rear. Reserving judgement on the front view for now.

 

Too much front overhang... bleh...!

 

YAY...Yellow!!!

 

I do not have a big enough front plate to fill this! I wonder if we can get an option on another front grill.

 

Arrrrr clean out my CARBON!:lol:
Hahahahaha

 

Without the odd grill /bumper it looks like the old dodge neon all it needs to say is "Hi"

Now when people add silly eyelashes to that MINI the 3/4 angel eye lights will look like glowing hooker eyeshadow.

Also what is up with the turbo snail fog light housings?

I can see them all sitting around a table in a conference room. Lets make everything rounded and then add a few hard 90 degree angles on the front for no reason at all.
Yes, that's a great idea, it will break it up so everything does not flow together. :confused5::lol:

 

So much for wheels at the corners. now I know how r53 owners feel.:frown2:

 

If ya stop and think a minute, it is only natural for companies to change their design over the years. The original Mini did not and it is gone. If they only made the R50 and R53, the MINI would be gone or close to it, as well.

Good point. That said, I'd still take the carbon fiber crescent over the chrome ring. Just too much contrast going on. :arf:

 

Keeeeeel Eeeeeeet!!!!!!!

 

^^^ I think the site now has R53 stereo...

 

Jimbo old buddy. I know that you and Dave will keep your R53's running for ever, but a long drive will amount to the end of the driveway and back. :lol:

You haven't seen my new driveway Jim

 

:cornut: But DaveO. BMW must be doing something right or their sales numbers wouldn't continue to increase. Just saying................... I remember in years gone by that Ford Mustang went from nice to square box ugly and back to nice again. Perhaps MINI in a year or two will come out with another 'killer' MINI.

i think the headlights look kind of interesting but the rest of the front end is unfortunate!rrr: im also not really feeling the BMW interior:nonod:

 

I had hopes that it would be better...but I think they just ruined the brand.

 

Just noticed the raised "power bulge" behind the scoop...
