23 platforms? FFS - build one car. ONE. Haven't they learned anything from sales of the Clubman and Crossman?
Doesn't look too bad aside from the continuing use of cheap black plastic all over it.

Stupid isn't it, ten years ago cars had black plastic parts externally because people were usually buying the cheap / base models of the car and it was a cost saving.

Last time I was in a car show room, the sales guy is pitching the black plastic parts as a modern feature with the benefits that if damaged they're easier to replace.
Funny thing is he was talking about a Skoda, you'd damage a painted panel on the car in question long before you got to the sacrificial ones.

I dont think its 23 mini models (if thats what you meant Harley?) it will ptobably do all the BMW 1 series and rubbish likr that

It looks pretty good! I wondered how they would update the look of the BMW MINI. Better handling and power is always welcome!

All I hear is BIGGER, LONGER, WIDER, HIGHER, even less like a real mini which they originally tried to mimic .
I'm still waiting to see a base model that most people could afford.

Wait till BMW bring out their other models.........one based on the Morris 1100, it's like a Tarago van, and they were going to bring out their version of the Austin 1800 but Winnibago already have a patent on that size vehicle.

Meh. I've bought the rights to Isetta and have started production on a range of cars that require their own Zip code.
