Yes, and Clubman will be om the market in may according to Automobilwoche!

The roof looks a little off.

that looks like a hearse

For midgets, perhaps?






PS: wait to see the car in a full showroom trim. It is way more funky, and way less hearse-looking (except in the case you offer it in Black with black roof ).

PPS: Yeah, Black with Black roof could indeed be used for a pet funeral business. I can imagine Paris Hilton's doggy taken to the cometary in this car, after committing a suicide.

It's almost done it's in FEP stage 3. But I think this is going to be popular it's more of a Lifestyle MINI but will be offered in again Cooper and Cooper S formats even JCW will feature and will slot into place with MINI owners who surf, Ski or snowboard and other forms of exercise I am not really accustomed to.

That's the signifigance of this car again it's a niche car with no actual competitors It's the MINI for people who want a MINI but cannot because of family and space commitments.

I seen Bentley have given her a Continental GTC to help "spread the word" Consensus at BMW is if she wants a Phantom DropHead Coupe is she will have to pay for it (surely not a problem) and wait in line behind the other (closing in on) 450 customers.

so can you answer the question about the roof, whether or not what we see is true to the form of the production car??? Thanks

The Roof will be as seen here will be an option as it carries a full length panoramic roof with individual opening it's raised so to give a greater impression of space height wise in the cabin - Surprisingly this car does have reasonable space inside making the MINI more practical that it actually is.

There will be accessories tailored specifically for the roof including roof bars and roof mounted spotlights and the usual lifestyle accessories such as roof boxes , snowboard racks etc.

One of the specific plans for this car is that BMW can add this MINI variant to Fleet sales for the Emergency services in Germany . Be it as a Police Car , Fire investigation or Fire Staff car or simply as a quick response Paramedic car.

Being unique in regards to the present MINI , there will also be additional colors to distance the variant although regular MINI colors will feature also. New colors such as Satellite Silver (Clear Silver) , Hot Chocolate (Dark brown) , Seabreeze Green (Turquoise) and Sandglow Gold (Dusty Gold) , all with interior options to match .
Satellite Silver is the original color from the MINI Concept Car series.

Overall it is still a MINI and besides it's shape it will still be great fun and have that MINI character.

How about engine choices and model variants, will it be a carbon copy of the cooper range???
