Anyone parked next to an F56 and took a photo of their car with it?

I'll start with this-

I think seeing an R56 next to an F56 makes it look like they've not done much to it and might change some haters minds about it. The rear lights is what I'm struggling to accept, but they look great at night.

As with most new shape cars it takes a while to like the new shape.I mind when I first saw the new shape 5 series ,I thought it was not as good as the previous shape ,but quite like it now ,but the thing is ,if you want a new MINI that's the shape it is :yes nod:

Brian you are so right, I can't remember how many times I have heard someone saying a new model is not nice then a year later they are happily driving about in one telling everyone how nice it is and that it is a great car.

Whilst the F56 is 'brimming' with the latest fantastic technology & is a dam fine thing to sit in, I'm really, really still struggling with the outside.

Help :scratch:

The seats are awesome I managed 1000 miles with ease and hardly moved when throwing it around corners. I can't wait for the JCW either :)

The front overhang on the F56 is ridiculous.

I passed one going the other way in my R53 and it felt like the bonnet was the height of my head.

Still can't bring myself to appreciate it as a piece of design, looks to much like a countryman already

To those who like the new car and to those who own one or might do one day try this site...
