Official MINI UK 2007 PDFs
A few weeks back we posted a series of official MINI UK documents detailing everything from technical data to a full option listing to even paint color. Since then we’ve noticed that they’ve made their way around almost every corner of the MINI web inevitably being sought out by soon to be 2007 owners. So to make them a bit easier to find we’ve decided to gather each story and PDF link and repost them here. You’ll also be able to find this link on the top right of the site for the next month or so.
Official R56 Options PDF (UK Market)
Grab a refreshing beverage and pull-up a comfy chair, we’ve got all kinds of official information on options for the 2007 MINI Coupe. While this PDF is meant for the UK market, it should give us some general ideas on specification and pricing for other markets as well.

Official R56 Technical Data PDF (UK Market)
We’ve got numbers. Loads and loads numbers on every aspect of the new 2007 MINI. Everything from top speed (140mph for the MCS) to battery placement (next to the engine as reported previously). For those into the technical aspects of the car, you may want to print it out and start highlighting as this will surely help win some bets in the years to come. Keep in mind that this is UK market specific so it may be slightly different from country to country.

I like the new GP wheel picture at the top of the page. How many new pics have you added as of late?
How long before our only choice is some sort of silver? The Cooper is available in few colors, including two flavours of silver, while the S adds a third kind of silver. Sheesh!

Fear not, there will always be a shade of Metrosexual Blue available too.
Here here, silver is not a color. It’s just a clear coat over metal.
Bring on the color.
While bright and in-your-face-colours may not suit BMW/MINI’s business model, because relatively few cars will be ordered in those colours in comparison to ‘staple’ colours like black, white, silver, etc – it’s important to take into consideration the ‘halo’ effect that such colours may have on the buying public.
For example, seeing a MINI in a bright colour (yellow, orange, bright blue, heck even pink) is not only eye-catching, but may even make a positive impression on a potential buyer, even if that buyer decides to get a MINI in a colour more suited to his/her personality.
Even in a boring silver colour, a MINI is still going to exude more uniqueness than many like-coloured cars on the roads, and in the general scheme of things, isn’t that what matters?
So MINI – please look at having more wild and crazy colours as a good advertising approach, and not just consider the bottom line! 🙂
Orange. Just bring out the Orange…
Pink Millie? Please NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No darker blue? What happened to Lightning Blue, or even the old Hyper Blue?
A little off topic, but here is an interesting article/interview with R56 Chief designer Gert Hildebrand:
<a href="http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf/story2/BDFB49676F522953CA2572090004075D" rel="nofollow ugc">http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf/story2/BDFB49676F522953CA2572090004075D</a>
“[Hildebrand] said that his team started the evolutionary design process organically, by literally grafting the R56 nose to a R50 Mini centre and then working the rest of the car from there, to arrive at a balanced and harmonious result.”
Give me Indigo Blue or give me death!
I personally think that some of the feminine colors aren’t there just for that reason. To exude masculinity. “It isn’t a chick car”

We’ve added a handful over the last month or so. There are now over 60 images that rotate automatically every day.
