front tyre looks a bit flat

Probably just the weight from the V8

But it has more than 180bhp yeah?

wedrum said:

Front tyre pressure look okay though?

If it is an 'exterior' package then it's a damn good one. They've fitted all the correct panels and even bothered with the brakes - normally the dead giveaway. (I'm well aware it's an actual m3).

Good choice, I love the E92 M3... that V8 is amazing!

Wish they renamed these the "Bigi"

Calling the old ones death traps is just as relevant as that comment.

Maxi is sort of the opposite of Mini so that would be fitting! Though I don't think BMW would want to call it that... Because of the Austin Maxi...

The R53 was a perfect modern interpretation of the Mini. The current car is not...

Have to agree.

I really like the new 2017 mini JCW with the upgraded exhaust and that trigger button! It sounds awesome!

rare · 3 Feb 2018 at 20:43

It sounds fantastic but only a mother could love that face. The overhang over the front wheels is awful. A combination of regulation I would imagine and a total failure of aesthetic proportions.

Akagi · 3 Feb 2018 at 20:43

The tail lights look fugly on the new ones too. Gopping.

rare · 3 Feb 2018 at 20:48

Just lol. Where to even begin...

[TW]Fox · 3 Feb 2018 at 20:48

The F56 is a great car :confused:

Akagi · 3 Feb 2018 at 20:49

But stylistically, horrific in a few ways,

rare · 3 Feb 2018 at 20:50

I’ve driven plenty, I’ve got no problem with how it drives. Aesthetically though it is a total and utter disaster.

[TW]Fox · 3 Feb 2018 at 20:52

I'm not a fan of the fussy styling under the front grille on the bumper of the Cooper S but otherwise I think its a nice looking thing and is well proportioned.

The one you've posted looks ridiculous with its silly coloured wheels, mind.

crinkleshoes · 3 Feb 2018 at 20:56

I think that's a huge improvement (aesthetically) over the old one... the first one looks like a pug that's been mis-bread to stunt the natural growth of its face.

The newer one has more reasonable proportions relative to its size.

Both are abominations and they should never have been allowed to steal the "Mini" name as they're twice the size of a Mini.
