I actually quite like that top one, the second one looks like a mini gained some weight and mated with a bus...

First image is definetly photoshopped, it's just a clubman with the window removed, you can still see the shut line for the suicide door!

Second one looks too much like a Audi A2.

A new Mini van would be interesting, probably have less space than the original.

Second one reminds me of the Rover revised mini design. Absolutely foul.

As said first one is just a clubman photoshopped.

No it isn't, it's clearly an official photo from BMW. They've even put the official slogan for the car on the side, "Van-tastic Mini".

The second one is also defiantly not photoshopped, it appears to be a secret test mule for the new car. Must be parked outside the Nürburgring. I bet BMW are going to close this site now I've posted that photo.

:lol:

Pistonheads (who created the image) say it was badly photoshopped as a tongue in cheek look at the Mini van. Second one is again a photoshop. :lol:

Nope, both stolen from the BMW head office in Germany by me. Pistonheads are just covering for me.

In the first pic you can see through the "van" and out the rear window on the other side. If it's not photoshopped why would there be a window there?
