i dont think it looks anywhere close to the original, and its twice the size..
i reckon the bug has more styling cues in comparison

nice to see bmw have beaten the panelshops and created their own hearse. anyone small enough to be carried in it ?

Don't laugh , there used to be a black mini van in the eastern suburbs of Sydney that did pet funerals for those that loved their pets too much . The new new MINI estate will probably be doing the same somewhere soon after it's released , some people will pay anything for their substitute children , I mean pets ....

French and Saunders did a skit based on thembeing removalists , first job a grand piano, both look at each other then out window at mini panel van, then shot as they drive down street with piano crushed into rear of van. Like to see that done in this. Our children err dogs ,terrier and cattle collie, even if cremated probably wouldn't fit in this if it was a pet hearse.

Now we're talking!!! I like your style, man!

Mmm... might have been a bit (tiny) harsh, but look 2 rear windscreen wipers with all the extra kit in the six doors and trims it must weigh a bit.

I think that pic posted looks awesome.

There was a BINI owner who some time ago photoshopped a "spy shot" of the new BINI and had it published by auto express. I would not be surprised if this was too. Those side doors look all wrong, especially when looking at the tint around the windows. The roof also looks ass and out of shape n those taillights are just plain fugly.

well then, for the first time I have to agree with the anti BINI contingent and say AH YUK as a first impression. Hopefully it will improve on me in the flesh.

That middle window on the side looks stupid.
