I think they should produce a MINI version as this would give the MINI brand a genuine city car that i’m sure would sell.

@Shane: The badge will be Isetta, similar to Mini.

Absolutely, but please badge it something else. BMW does not stand for something like that. It is a good idea, but use some of other BMW brand names that they acquired years ago and have not used till now. such as morris. If they build this car under BMW’s brand and it looks so much like a Fiat, there’ll be trouble. BMW 50 years ago does not represent the BMW now. BMW today is so much more exclusive, dominant. They cannot afford to compete with the same brand name in that kind of segment. It is OK to have a joint venture when you are talking about Mini and other subsidiaries of The BMW Group, I do not expect any BMWs to share parts with another manufacturer like Fiat though. This type of car reminds me of the Cirtroen and Pigeot’s C1 and 107. Not a good idea to badge it BMW!!!! ALARM BELLS RINGING

I would have never expected BMW to partner with Fiat, but this looks very interesting.
