Official BMW released pictures

I found these pictures on a dutch site. They're official BMW released pictures.

I do not like the exterior of the new Mini
But I love the new interior

I hope other people will like the new look.

I'm the opposite. I like the look of the MINI S exterior. There were just to many add ons details from 2004-2006 that just didn't seem to fit. You could really tell the difference between designers. Like the silver line across the bottom bonnet. YUCK, and they still have it on the MINI Cooper.

The Interior however, is not very appealing. I still dig the original. Hopefully its better looking in person cause I don't like what they did to the speedometer.

Any thoughts?

its a mix of the current JCW brochure, the GP and the R56, interesting, but not the car we are looking forward to ordering

Can you get some larger versions of the pics you have already posted? We can have a better look at 'it' then.

Cheers

Sorry, but I canīt

The Pictures are from an internal BMW pdf which includes 3 pages, but the employee only posted the first one...

But this employee said that it is an official prospect

All other hints he gave before the presentation of the R56 were right...

īcos I only got this screenshot...

Hey guys, itīs not my photoshop work and I donīt exactly know if this this is true or not.
The guy who posted this pic is a member of a german forum, whose hints about the R56 all became true.
I donīt know him personally, but others do and are very interested in his outings..

You can make up your own opinion, and I do mine!

It may be an official document about the new JCW, but the images look very fake, so I think it may be a photoshop artists impressions of the new car.

Youīre right, it is very suspicious that the perspectives of the car are very equivalent to the perspectives of the actual jcw-prospect.
I know that, and many others in the german forum attest that too.

But Iīve no Idea, why BMW is sending such a pdf (with photoshops) to their employees....

Either they try to find a mole, or they have photoshoped their own car, or both!?!

I'll try and do some digging, but make no promises.

I know people who've had very close contact with the new JCW S, so I may be able to shed some light on the subject (but at the same time, may not!).

I for one really like the new car, interior and exterior. That JCW S looks great apart from the wheels, they look a bit tacky IMO.
