Just kinda curious cause I want to buy with cash and I want to customize one... Any clue to when they will stop making them? I should buy one by 2006 sometime... Just cause the banks want to give me 15.49% with perfect credit?!

Thanks guys!

Looking forward to being a Mini man!!

Well, planning and strategy is now going on for beyond 2016, so a little while yet I'd say.



Welcome to MINI2.

Any clue if they will continue with the same body style and interior?!

 

[Paul]

Depends when you're getting your car. If it's not late 2006 you'll get basically what we have now, otherwise....

i don't think bmw should change the look at all. look at the jeep wrangler here in the US, its been the same for the last 20 years.

They are going to make MINI's until they no longer make a profit

Sounds about right.

isn't that how much it pretty much goes for everything in this world?

one thing i've been wondering is when will the madness of no bargaining end?

Only major changes are new engines built (specialy for Minis) in house at the Hams Hall factory 1.4s, 1.6s and 1.6 turbo plus Getrag have been testing a 4WD transmision ( come here Subaru) although I read of rumours that the Mini is too good a value and BMW are thinking of cutting costs and quality no doubt hope it stays a rumour.

Close, but not quite on the button yellowliquid, worth reading through the news and also the "future variants" forum for more information (cutting through the rumours in the forum though).
