Man weiß immerhin schon die kW-Zahl des großen und des kleinen One
Wenn es um das Dach geht, günstig folieren lassen!

Ich bin da etwas beknackt, aber MINI und Cooper gehört für mich zusammen, daher kommt ein One - für mich - eher nicht in Frage...

Hochwertige Lenkrad- und Schaltknaufheizung (das meine ich ernst).
Ansonsten gibt es Alles, was ich brauche...

Er wird kommen. Gibt ja seit gestern wieder neue Bilder:
20131218: 2015 MINI Clubman spied undergoing testing in Europe F54

Danke @jeb für den Hinweis. Sorry, hat fast eine Stunde gedauert, blödes Netz

Aber jetzt, diverse Meldungen, allesamt von gestern. Quellen:

2015 MINI Clubman spied undergoing testing in Europe has conventional front-hinged rear doors

Development work continues on the 2015 MINI Clubman as our spies have caught the model undergoing testing in Europe.

Dressed in swirly camouflage, the redesigned model is significantly larger than its predecessor and adopts conventional front-hinged rear doors which should improve access to the rear seat. The wagon also has a spilt tailgate with side-opening doors.

Engine options will likely be shared with the Cooper so choices could include:

A 1.5-liter three-cylinder with 34 bhp (100 kW) and 170 lb-ft (230 Nm) of torque
A 1.5-liter three-cylinder diesel with 114 bhp (85 kW) and 199 lb-ft (269 Nm) of torque
A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 189 bhp (141 kW) and 221 lb-ft (300 Nm) of torque
A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with roughly 217 bhp (162 kW)

Diskussion wie immer bei F54/55 hier...
F54 bzw. F55: "five-door", "Traveller", "Clubman(?)", alle 5-Türer in der Diskussion (MINI F56 Variationen)

Interessant, was die Amerikaner so zu berichten haben
Komischerweise ist auch motoringfile etwas hinten dran; zeigen erst heute das Video mit Spike.

Aber nun zu The Top Ten Things We Love About the New MINI (And Five We Don’t)

Zitat

After spending a few days with the new MINI we’ve come away convinced that photos don’t quite do the car justice. There’s so much nuance in three-dimensions that is lost in a flat photo where you’re really only getting part of the picture. So we wanted to bring you ten things that we love about the new car that might not be obvious in any of the photos released to date. We’ll then list five things that we’re not so sure about yet.

1.) The interior quality is dramatically better. Some of this is due to the materials themselves but just as much improvement is due to the design making better use of these materials.

2.) The boot is so much more versatile. Not only is it larger, but it now has a surprisingly useful under-floor storage area with an integrated net. Additionally the rear seats not only fold down flat, but they can lock in a 90 degree position straight up. This provides more storage space in the boot while also creating a barrier to keep items of sliding forward. It’s a nice alternate to folding the seats all the way down.

3.) We think the 18” wheels combined with a higher belt-line, and lower roofline, give the car a more menacing character out of the box.

4.) The rear spoiler on both cars (but especially the Cooper S) is much larger than you’d expect and gives the car a sporting character from rear angles

5.) The optional LED headlights look fantastic in person due to their simplicity. They also offer great visibility.

6.) I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again. The sport seats are fantastic. They combine more comfort with a more aggressive bolstering to create the perfect everyday MINI seat. What you don’t get in photos, however, is how far improved the quality is over the R50 and R56. The rear seats are better too — deeper and with an altered profile for more comfort. Still not a great place for adults on long trips, but they’ve come a long way since the R50.

7.) The size. Yes, it’s bigger. However, the F56 has noticeably more utility in regards to storage and there’s more room in both the front and rear seats. All in a package that weighs only 60 lbs more than the R56 due to a strengthened chassis and other safety measures. Yet even with that little extra (literal) elbow room, the F56 is still a very small car, especially in the US market.

8.) The optional JCW steering wheel is the best wheel yet from MINI. From the perforated leather, to the shape, it’s simply perfect. It’s not at all too soft or too thick like some BMW M wheels can be.

9.) MINI’s new optional 8.8” navigation screen is a huge improvement in both resolution and color vibrancy. Yet while the software is dramatically improved over today’s system, it’s not quite on par with BMW’s excellent iDrive system.

10.) The engines. Sure we haven’t driven it yet but the idea of the menacing growl only a three cylinder can bring along with great MPG is genuinely exciting. Then there’s the 2.0L four cylinder. Sure it’s only moderately more power, but the increased torque is near JCW levels. And with .4L more capacity than before, just imagine what can be done with a JCW massaged version.

Don'ts: Now let’s talk about the things we haven’t yet wrapped our heads around.

1.) The rear lights are huge and haven’t gotten any smaller over the last two days spent with the car.

2.) The bumper features a chin that is frankly hard to love – especially in light colors. Darker colors help greatly.

3.) The scourge of the MINI branding – the “S” in Cooper S – is everywhere on the Cooper S. It’s most egregious on the front grille. Look for sticker kits from MotoringBadges.com to at least black this out.

4.) The optional CD Changer (the only way to get a CD in this MINI) takes up almost the entire glovebox.

5.) The clutch. It’s all new, but feel very light. Granted I just played with it in a stationary position, but the clutch on the Cooper S I demoed felt noticeably lighter than the one in our MF 2011 JCW Roadster, and not in a good way.

Das Wired halte ich für noch wichtiger, als das Panorama-Dach (bzgl. dem angesprochenen Wiederverkauf).
Und das sage ich als Mega-Panoramadach-Fan ...

Da es bei Deiner Rechnung um 900€ haben oder nicht haben geht, passt das

Luftzug? Schiebedach? Ääääääääh

Falls Du unerwünschte Luftzufuhr bei geschlossenem Schiebedach meinst:
Bei Keinem (!) meiner MINIs gab es da mit Luftzug Probleme, außer es war offen und somit erwünscht

Also, ich kann das Luftzug-Problem nicht bestätigen...
Beim R56 hat sich das Dach allerdings ab und an nicht öffnen lassen (wenn er in der prallen Sonne gestanden hatte).

Wenn der Clubman entsprechend den jetzigen Proportionen wächst, wäre das wohl vertretbar.
Wichtig ist, das der Clubman-Charakter erhalten bleibt.

Ich trauere meinem verunfallten Clubman immer noch hinterher
Für mich wird der Nachfolger allerdings definitiv zu groß, unabhängig davon, ob er das Verhältnis bei behält.

Danke, habe es editiert!

und:
BMW wollte 10 Jahre mit der Umsetzung warten, da in 2013 mein Patent ausläuft

Ich denke schon, dass der F56 das Maximum (fast) ausnutzt, welches zum Hatch passt.
Wesentlich mehr geht da nicht. Ansonsten verliert er die wesentlichen Merkmale.

Wenn ich mich zum Beispiel nehme: Der 1er BMW ist mir zu groß (rund 4,3m).
Wenn der Hatch so groß wie mein 1er wäre, hätte er den Reiz verloren...

Dann wäre ich vermutlich gezwungen zum AdAm2 oder so zu wechseln
Ich mag einfach keine - zu - großen Autos. Bis 4m ist akzeptabel
