United-Kingdom BMW, take note! We want Black back!

Well, it's not unheard of for BMW, or other big companies, to reverse an unpopular decision. So, let's see what we can do on MINI2 (sure they look here now and again)


Post in this thread if you want BMW to bring back Solid Black for the MINI

No banter in here please, boys and girls Let's see how many names we can get down on here in support, eh!

I think it was stupid to remove solid black from the range.

Was an unusual decision to stop making it.... perhaps it will make mine worth more though in years to come - keep it off the options list Mr BMW

Lots of people love Black II and Electric blue and have been upset to see them go.

Maybe BMW are secretly planning a come back for these colours on the 2007 model, ensuring the success of the new model

To paraphrase an old saying :"once they went black, they should never have gone back".

My next MINI was going to be black.

Black II is and always will be gorgeous. Black is the colour that will never go out of fashion, there will never be a replacement, it has stood the test of time and we want it back

I wanted a black Cooper S...not a sort-of-black-but-looks-a-bit-bluey-maybe-purple colour!!
