Re: New Mini: Official pics!!!

Yeah, try to match this with the new A2 Yannis

That would be a piece of cake. j/k

Don't think that i don't like the Mini , i always did but some new details to distinguise the new model from the old were needed IMO.
Anyway i 'm sure this car will sell like hot bread but still the speedo could had been a bit smaller.

Read the PR lines above: Speedo is so big because it incorporates Radio / CD controls & optionally also the NAV screen. Wait fore more PR pics to see the NAV - it all makes sense.

PR article added (look at post #1).

Mmmm, looking really good though I would prefer to see a slightly shorter front overhang. Interior is still wacky-retro (which I don't like but could happily live with) and I'm glad they've retained those natty toggle switches on the centre console. I've a feeling that a current supercharged Cooper S Works is going to become a sought after collectable.

Eni, I am 100% sure I have already seen very clear shots of the nav in the new Mini, but I can't remember where i saw them.
Do you know?

Thanks a lot Siko!!!

Everyone, watch the 2nd Cooper S vid.

It's just stunning, and everything is different and better now, you can really see the differences with the old one good in this 2nd video!

Just stunning

The new mini does look, near as idential to the current mini, which is no bad thing, what's the point in ruining something which is so popular! The side profile likes like a carbon copy of the current car! The front though does look a bit bulky to me, hopefully it will look better in the flesh!

As for engines, I heard the mini one would get a 95bhp 1.4 engine, and the oneD would get the PSA/ Ford 1.6 diesel with 110bhp.

Nobody "shocked" new MINI is getting "iDrive"?

Yet "Herr Stick" instead of "Herr Knob":

Re: New Mini: Official pics & info!!!

Oh, it's that knob, didn't notice that!

Seeing as the RR Phantom has I-Drive, it seemed obvious the Mini would get it!

What are Mini calling it?

MINiDrive



j/k

I have no idea how marketingers named it.

But does the idrive comes only with nav?

It will do, just like the 3er!

It needs to screen to show you what you're doing!

Re: New Mini: Official pics & info!!!

Positive.

But mind that current MINI has got similar system already - only controller in stick form (plus additional buttons) on center console will be new.
Currently the controlling part is just under NAV display.

Thanks, siko!

Why BMW are still so hidding that MINiDrive so much?

It's about time to upset the public that R56 MINI - when offered with NAV system - comes with its own iDrive system.

IMO automotive journalists will be in total shock when the MINiDrive news hit them ...
