I like it.

Paul · Aug 21st, 2006, 03:55 PM

You've only just seen this?

We've been talking about it since the drive I did in the Netherlands!

(It is cool though).

LMB · Aug 21st, 2006, 04:05 PM

Ah

Sorry.

The new Mini definitely has some nice touches.

CC07ERS · Aug 21st, 2006, 09:30 PM

bmw thinking about its profits this will be 1 of the £100/£200 extras you just cant not have ive allready tiked the box what about you

Does a mirror ball drop down out of the headliner?

A couple of Dingle Balls and you're golden.

Hat · Aug 22nd, 2006, 12:10 PM

this is the full range of colours

Washy · Aug 22nd, 2006, 12:12 PM

That is so cool. That is exactly the sort of thing that will convince me to buy one

Hat · Aug 22nd, 2006, 12:13 PM

not sure if you set each colour individually or if they sequence

Paul · Aug 22nd, 2006, 12:15 PM

You "scroll through" as you flick.

good - sequencing would drive me mad. can it be turned off completely?

hayesl · Aug 22nd, 2006, 12:21 PM

From what I've read, it looks like each flick of the switch moves it on to the next colour. Automatically cycling colours would do your head in

It's one of the features that makes me really want the car. After all, the interior's where you see the car from 90% of the time, so being able to alter the feel of it at the flick of a switch helps prevent you from tiring of the interior.

ButtonIt · Aug 22nd, 2006, 12:23 PM

Can it retrofit to the old ones?

i'm sure mikey could rig something up

LMB · Aug 22nd, 2006, 01:09 PM

I do like that.

Cheers Hat.

No doubt someone will get this flashing on/off in time with the stereo.

that would be a lot of work to do that, changing all the dials and such like, not worth it, might as well buy the new one

Hat · Aug 22nd, 2006, 01:23 PM

as far as it looks, this lighting is just the submarine lighting from the headlining & the door bins

Hat · Aug 22nd, 2006, 01:32 PM

not sure - not from the pics i've seen so far
