Of course it is.
Beside SE also a special concept will be presented.
Have still no further info what kind of MINI this would be.

A rally / GP car? A 2-seater coupe? Or a design study showcasing future MINI design cues?

Busy line up then. I wonder how you marketing guys are going to focus our atention on BMW products. Having in mind that the later part of the year you will be introducing PAS, and the F10 5er is due to early 2010 unveiling.

PD: The E-Drive concept talked by Scott might be the new Z proyect, the Z2.

Think of something with smaller proportions but more modern or current styling of the Z8 which means headlights positioned on the corner of each front wings with a wide twin-kidney grille similar to the CS Concept but not as wide , no windscreen but a speedster style screen and a twin "individual cabin layout where the aluminium metal skin actually joins on to the dashboard seperating the driver from the passenger.

All this but in a compact (1er based) platform with a very significant insignia on the front wheel arch - "eDrive."

No V8 ,No Insane overload of power and excess. Vision-Z is all about relevance and sustainability and the progress of sports cars for the future.

Talking of small models, it's worth remembering the 50th anniversary of the cute little BMW 700, whose merit was to change the destiny of BMW AG in 1959!!
