MINI2

pappillon · Sep 22nd, 2005, 04:04 PM

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!

Roofas · Sep 22nd, 2005, 04:09 PM

I'll second that and at no extra cost too - unlike astro black, bl**dy £250 extra

Washy · Sep 22nd, 2005, 04:10 PM

Bring back solid black

Carlos. · Sep 22nd, 2005, 04:13 PM

I have a solid black MINI. Id like my next one to be solid black too please.

Paul · Sep 22nd, 2005, 04:30 PM

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

wibbly · Sep 22nd, 2005, 04:32 PM

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

Mini_Blake · Sep 22nd, 2005, 04:36 PM

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

Willy · Sep 22nd, 2005, 04:37 PM

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

My next MINI was going to be black.

ALD0 · Sep 22nd, 2005, 04:45 PM

Astro Black is a lovely Compromise though!

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!!

Baggers · Sep 22nd, 2005, 05:31 PM

Amen to all the above, bring back black. And electric blue.

Pobsey · Sep 22nd, 2005, 05:47 PM

Come Mr BMW smell the coffee and bring back solid black

Ebrian_x2 · Sep 22nd, 2005, 05:52 PM

Dont have a black mini, but Im all for pleasing the masses.

Bring Back the Black!!!

wow, try saying that one 5 times real fast!

ollies · Sep 22nd, 2005, 05:57 PM

my first mc was solid black i now have ds mcs but have always kind of regretted not sticking with black so BRING BACK THE BLACK thats what i say

Foxy Mini · Sep 22nd, 2005, 06:17 PM

Maybe we should start a petition and see what happens?

UKC4 · Sep 22nd, 2005, 06:26 PM
