Now you've got to admit , this one looks like fun :lol:

No idea on it's origins but I stole it from the IMMCC . Bit scary if it is a real ad and BMW is hyping up the mini's 50th birthday as their own ...

Really nice visual, but if it is from BMW it shows they have absolutely no interest in the mini's heritage beyond more their logo. Perhaps it's their vision of how the MINI will grow (which wouldn't surprise me).

And Sir Alex revolves in his grave once more...

I dunno, it looks like it might accelerate ok...

It would want to have a star trek like dash to compliment the boosters...

50 years of the original mini, the current mini isnt the same car so bmw should f&^% off.

I would do anything for a set of interstellar ram jets on my mini. Would need to get the tacho recal'd for n1 turbine revolutions however.

BMW + MINI = MONI and you'll need lots of it. They're taking the little calf and turning it into a cash cow.

Yep thats the BMW MINI alright, much, much, bigger on the outside than the original and yet still barely manages to seat four in comfort.
