haha the guy looking at the camera looks funny

Oulixes · 02-27-2010, 09:08 PM

The face lift is not excessive, which is good. The car is very tempting.

positiveions · 02-27-2010, 09:41 PM

can anyone point out the changes?

AZ135 · 02-27-2010, 09:48 PM

Do they really need to test such minor changes? Also, wouldn't it be more camouflaged if they didn't use that tape that draws attention to it? I guarantee that if they would have avoided the tape, no one would have noticed the difference between the current Mini and this one.

this came up in a thread about the 5 series, i fully concur!

immiketoo · 02-28-2010, 01:11 AM

Changes that are so minor shouldn't count at all!

E90330iS · 02-28-2010, 02:50 AM

nice

Antinontoxic · 02-28-2010, 12:07 PM

Is the shark fin something new or does the current model has one already?

Feyd · 02-28-2010, 12:24 PM

I wish they'd give these damn things a severe interior lift. Then I might consider buying one. *shrug*

Just sayin.

vladberca · 02-28-2010, 02:01 PM

It will have the upgraded engine from Countryman S....

Agree....if it had been a more conventional interior, I probably would've bought one of these. (Then again, if it had a more conventional interior, it wouldn't be a "Mini"....so maybe I'm not the market they're looking for.)

gonzo · 03-01-2010, 08:16 AM

I got used to the quirky interior/toggles etc in a week. I look at MPH on the digital readout above the steering wheel. Otherwise I only look at the monster center speedo to see my fuel level.

The fun factor and awesome gas mileage, 28.8 city avg with a heavy foot, far outweigh it's "unique" interior.

One year left on this lease and I will be looking for a deal on the new AWD S.

Best urban use car I have ever had. For my free oil changes are the only times it has been back to the dealer. Unlike my 335 which went to same dealer so many times I can't count them.
