When specced with satnav check out the wee stick thing down by the gear stalk bit.

Andy, some people don't like change - it'll be like the classic/new mini battle all over again [rolls eyes] ;):p

I don't think it is mate. I think that the mirror adjust has been moved onto the door.

CAn't say that I'm a huge fan of the interior (except the seats! :D)
Add that to some of the exterior styling touches, the whole thing is starting to look like a Fisher Price toy...

I suppose it's to make it simple and modern, but it really looks like they're trying to 'Dumb it down'.

BMW MINI are not stupid. They know what the majority want and thats what they will go with. I'm certain that the majority dont want the MINI to be less exciting or less fun.

I think the MINI will benefit greatly from the revisions.
