F**king abortions.

If you can have the coupe one with a black roof, it'll look much better...

I agree with the coupe, it needs a black roof (this will sound weird), this car has just been released on Forza and I have one with a blac roof and it looks loads better.

May I also suggest they change the Mini cup to the coupe, looks awesome with a wing on it!

Could it not also be argued that as these are from a Patent office, that this is BMW protecting their designs from someone getting their angle grinder out?

Possibly, but they do seem to have a few production changes to them, such as wheels etc.

I think.

Of course, someone will now come along with some photos showing they are identical to the concepts... hehe

Well, they are minis... They are going to sell like hotcakes, especially the coupe. I think that convertible doesn't look too bad/ Far better than the last conv.

I quite like the convertible. More so than the current ones anyway.
