Well, It would be an ideal time to change, the Minx would be 2.5 years old then......

I am on the list for the first customer car at my dealer

The new interior looks fab.... but its very much love or hate!

It has got definite BMW styling cues in it, the centre speedo is much bigger, and the dash inserts are very BMW Z4!

well production of the current S ends in march so they can refit the factory then the new twin turbo scroll engined bad boys will start rolling off.... (these will be the same instant power as superchargers thx to new technology (the scroll exhuasts))

this is planned for the end of next yr so hopes up the rest will follow soon (JCW etc )

End of this year

And production is continuing well after March! As Plant Oxford only has one assembly line, it is evry flexible, and extremely easy to introduce new models. Downtime for the line will be limited.

dunno if thts a good thing, z4 . not seen a pik tho. i think the current dash should just be sharpend up. more sophisticated look. anyway. im sure the guys know what ther doin. if they dont they will certainly find out!!!
