Ah, yes. The MINI actually made my list because I wanted a car no longer than the car I am replacing, which is 172" long, so that it fits in my first-in-last-out garage for two cars. Early on, the eliminate the Chevy Volt, the Prius Prime, the Tesla 3 and the Honda Clarity. It left in the Fiat 500e, the BMW i3, the Nissan Leaf, VW eGolf, the Kia Nero/Hyundai Kona and potential cars that never showed up. Still, not a bad list of choices, but the MINI is easily the most exciting of that lot. I test drove the eGolf (which they aren't making any more) and man, I have never been so bored in a VW before!
I have Island Blue with a Black roof and mirrors and the black tentacle spoke wheels on my 2022 Cooper S Signature trim and it is an ICE not an EV. I found this forum while trying to find the part number for those special edition stripes because I want to add them to my car.
