Given what I now know from MINI owners and given that we're supposed to be MINI tolerant, it is a sensible suggestion.  Also, it does help with clarity, although BMW do not like it being described as a BMW MINI as BMW and MINI are separate brands, but let's not go there! :lol:

Yes but - MINI and Mini look different but when you say them they sound the same. As Mini was first then the other one needs another name in talking conversation (i.e. when using your mouth, as opposed to a keyboard), and that will inevitably spill over onto the written words.

 

 

I agree, it is easier in writing to differentiate, although there are some MINI owners who write Mini (without understanding the difference), so that can be tricky.  Therefore, I can see the value of adding BMW in front of it as most people would understand that we were talking about a MINI.   In Oxford it's doesn't help matters that the local paper always put Mini instead of MINI when referring to MINI despite me telling them repeatedly! 

 

When you're speaking, you can just say new or modern, it's really not very difficult.  I have to do it regularly as I seem to end up talking about both most days.  I guess it's just a habit you get into and once you're used to it, it's easy.

Its like family members...you dont like them all but at the end of the day they ARE family 

 

If I had the room and money I'd be buying up early BINI's they're a good future investment

 

Still want a GP though  :mmkay:
