The interior will be toned down to be more like the 2001 car also.

Exterior is more exquisite, like the Fiat 500. Very appealing and makes the car look less like a toy. and that colour is sweet too.

Btw, the interior pic is obviously a PS.

Look at the details in the original MkII mock-up interior from few years ago:

MkII mock-up:



supposed MkIII mock-up:






I'm starting to be sceptical of the exterior pic as well ... stay tuned.

Doesnt seem to be the case. Btw, is this this supposed to be the speedster or is it the hatchback?

The small MegaCity Vehicle under Project-i will be a MINI branded vehicle.
Funding a new brand at the current climate is not suitable and BMW want the entry level BMW to remain the 1er.
The MINI-i will be equally recognisable as a MINI but with the MINI Brand , BMW intend to split the brand with the smaller "MegaCity" cars and then the Austrian built "Urban Adventure" vehicles which will be the MINI-X and the SpaceBox project.

As of now they are still in competition regarding the MINI 3 , all I have seen is claymodels and design sketches. The Interior picture has familarities with the MINI X.

The BMW Motorrad Division will accompany the MegaCity Scooter , For Project-i. Basically a two seater covered scooter similar to the C1 but lower and longer. Think of the BMW Clever Concept.

Mini X = Mini SUV
Mini Spacebox = ??

Also in terms of dimensions, will this be smaller then the R56?
