[quote=Blacky;2869646]However I must say it looks like it could be a real off roader with the extra ground clearing from the front and back!
Maybe it is true Mini are going 4 x 4

Its an optical illusion--the suspension actually sits just a smidgeon lower than the outgoing model. Hopefully this will be corrected on future facelifts, as IMHO it really detracts from the appearance of the
R56, and could be easily fixed by making the black wheel arches smaller, painting the struts a dark color, dropping the suspension, and/or modifying the front and especially rear bumper to make it appear to sit lower.
