That's the new Mini Cooper S GP which is the only one I'd buy (if I won Lotto). I'd have to win a shedload to justify the price tag for different colour mirrors, mags & side exit exhaust...

Yep the wheels are great..

I wonder if there is a Swatstika version of them though.. As I think they would be nicer :lol:

No, the wheels don't look crap. They are clearly an update of my Dunlop mags, and are very cool. This is not opinion, this is an empirical and scientifically provable fact.

:wink:

Why they don't make them like they did in the old days (Go out the back of the factory and see what was left over from other cars, then stick a different manufacturer's name (Riley) on it)? Or maybe those mirrors are off a BMW Z4? And the ducts in the front are clearly from a Sony Megablaster PSP Expansion Pack.

Actually I would never buy a Bini; they have too much plastic 'styling' on them for my taste.

that's not really a side exit exhaust is it? surely it's just rice....

here's a widened mini for you - factory experiment for the husband and wife who needed more elbow room, it's hard to tell without something to compare it against.

[edited - wrong pic]

[edited again - something is stuffed with my web host, it'll come good eventually - I hope]

I think that BINI is actually more than just looks - they have fixed back seats, no air0con, no rear seat, etc. Saves 40Kg, apparently. Of course, you pay extra to not get those things. Oh, extra power is by a different 'cooler.
