An article showing 2012 BMW model built on MINI platform. :shock: Worse yet it will come out before the MINI version. :roll:
I hope MINI does loose it's identity.

It seems to be stealing the GTI's identity with E60 wheels.

That might be the best idea to come out of BMW in years. That looks WAY better than a MINI!!! :twisted: (Not saying that MINIs look bad. )

I'm positive that I have never even suggested such an idea.

I am referring to the picture that Matt posted.

I assume that is the new BMW? Looks pretty good to me, at least from that angle.

it will never grace our shores. totally devoid of any US marketability. it is a Euro rental car IMO.
