But as for badge, yes, BMW is more premium compared to a Volkswagen under malaysian eyes.

As for practicality, have you ever seen a beetle and its interior space at back?? Im 6ft and i sit well with a finger gap of leg room compared to me in slouching position and my knees dig into the sear infront of a mini. And boot space! MINI = 180L…. BEETLE = 310L with rear seats UP.

Practicality: Beetle
Sportiness: MINI
Specs: Beetle
Value for money: Beetle
Safety: On Par.

A choice of Malaysian flag or any state flag on the roof and side mirrors, Satu Malaysia badge instead of ‘one’, assembled in Malaysia, an AES detector and a price tag of under RM130k.

Comes in red, blue, yellow and white. oh and najibs ’1 Malaysia’ speech as you start the engine.

Or i laugh at people who buys a persona instead of a satria neo?

Atleast he works and used his own cash to buy a unique 2 door 4 seater vehicle instead of a pimped out van. What do you drive since u are sooo judgmental and sooo funny?

And surprisingly more practical too. Mini is also a fun car to drive. I think that alone is a good enough reason to buy Mini.

Ive heard that they may not sell their more expensive models if they do sell the one as a full batch. But for the past couple of years, the mini has a big market. Even the cooper S has outsold the cheaper cooper, but there are plenty of middle classes that are buying used coopers and people who are dreaming of owning a mini. I believe if they do sell the one, the market would expand considerably. The market for the cooper/cooper S would stay the same, but now they have an additional consumer group to feed!

They should also sell it at a price just below 140k to compete with the beetle, and since it would be the cheapest new ‘BMW’, if they do stick with the cloth seatings and simple alloys, it wont be that big of a problem.

They bring in the next batch..and sell it for 143888. This is what i dont like about BMW Malaysia. Always trying to milk the situation. I bet if all sold out again, they will raise the price.
