Hi All:
I received an email from Braman MINI today, and on the bottom of the Specials page was a picture of an 2009 R57, but the copy of the ad referered to it as a 2007.

So they're calling the '06 a 'classic' now, eh?

 

Where is the gas cap!!

 

Oh you haven't heard that they are moving the gas cap to the other side?!

 

Seriously?

 

 

tard

 

they don't have a gas cap, just a big wind-up key in the boot. That way they're more fuel efficent.

 

Maybe it'll be behind the fold down license plate!

 

I thought it had the flux capacitor option!

 

it looks pretty hot!

 

Are you sure this is an official image? It probably originated from MINI's HQ, but I mean... look at those wheel arches. They are R50/R53 arches. The wheels themselves look disproportionate too.

 

As has been alluded to here, ts not an official image; its photoshopped, and not all that well if you look closely. We bashed that to death at Motoringfile 2 weeks ago, and last week it was officially announced that it wasn't official.
