BMW/MINI has announced a new variant, being a convertible. Styling-wise, the convertible carries the same front-end design and tail-lights as the Mini three-door hatch on which it is based. However, it is also 98 mm longer, 44 mm wider, 7 mm higher and has a 28 mm longer wheelbase compared with the outgoing version. BMW has strayed so far away from the original Mini concept of Sir Alec Issigonis, that they shouldn’t be called “mini” any longer.
