With the Olympics being around the corner and to be held in London this year, BMW truly wants to leverage its sponsorship, and what better way to do that than bring not one but two special editions of its much adored Mini Cooper? Yes, BMW is all set to introduce two special editions of the classic hatchback, both named after two popular London neighborhoods, the Baker Street edition and the Bayswater edition.
Available on the Mini One (the entry-level model overseas), One D (the diesel version), Cooper and Cooper D, the Baker Street edition lays black V-shaped bonnet stripes over a light gray (or available white or black) base color, complemented by glossy black 16-inch alloys and mirror caps. Inside, the cloth and leather seats are finished in a diamond-pattern with gray trim and chrome accents. A whole mess of optional extras are bundled as standard, and include of course, there are the requisite special badges.
The Bayswater edition available on Cooper, Cooper S, Cooper D and Cooper SD models – takes a more sporting approach, with an exclusive shade of metallic blue (or optional black or gray) with a black roof, centered blue and gray stripes up the hood, with 17-inch alloys in glossy black with polished rims, and door mirrors that, well…”mirror” the racing stripe: blue on the right, gray on the left. Leather seats come in an exclusive shade of anthracite with blue and gray bolsters and top-stitching, complemented by piano lacquer trim, stainless steel pedals, bundled optional equipment and special badges.
