    Mini did not even include heads on the drivers for the F56, that explains a lot. :ihih::lol:

    They also don't have arms; definitive proof that the car was never intended for driving.

    It's amazing how just a little more overhang on a small car makes such a huge difference in appearance.

    Like americans, europeans must be getting larger too...

    i remember seeing an article where they say the Cooper S F56 has more overhang now that a BMW 135i....pretty much sums up what i plan to buy next after my Paceman...they want to try and BMWify the mini fully...then ill buy a damn BMW... 4 Series M here i come

    this is the byproduct of retarded crash safety laws and lighting standards

    Yeah, the MINI does have more overhang than a 135i, but it's slightly (though not completely, it's still has validity) disingenuous since they are different chassis; a better comparison would be between the F56 and the 2 series--I'd be interested if there's more overhang between those two since they share the same platform.

    I also wish they'd put an outline of the R53 in the diagram of the headless, armless mutant passengers from Uranus.

    I can live with some of the changes, but I'm really disappointed at the 0.7-inch loss of room for the Upholstered Interior Storage Compartment. (I think MINI calls it a rear seat.) :nonod:
