It won't get a BMW look front. It won't get any BMW type styling.

The MINI doesn't get a BMW made engine. They refuse to build a FWD car and badge it as BMW, and the new MINI is a competitor to the 1 series BMW (which is RWD). That's why they won't get BMW looks.

I used to like the New Mini. I though BMW had done an alright job. (hands shaking with anger) but they have gone to FAR!!!!' IT'S GOT A ROUND NOSE!!!!!!!! Its like if I owned a genuine cooper S and went up to someone from this site and said 'Yeah it's a good clubbie' im sure they would knock me down and get their friends to jump on me. It's just not right! And talk about stealing Mazda's ideas with the doors. Sir Alec Issigonis would be turning, spewing and screaming for vengence in his grave. God bless that man.
