Specially Crafted Models



These special collaboration models were created following BMW's special sponsorship of Tomoyasu Hotei's concert held in June. The base vehicles are the "MINI Coupé," a sportier two-seater version of the MINI, and theMINI Roadster.

The "MINI Coupé" is the "Black Fire Model," based on red and black with a guitar motif. The interior features red leather seats, and all of the MINI's signature rings are finished in red chrome. The dashboard is adorned with a decoration that makes it appear as if a guitar is housed in its case. The exterior, painted separately in red and black, effectively requires the effort of two cars. The interior chrome and decorations also involve a meticulous process of removing parts, embellishing them, and then reassembling.

Meanwhile, the "MINI Roadster" is the "Gitarhythm Model," featuring a black exterior with white geometric patterns. This pattern is meticulously repeated not only on the exterior but also on the seats, dashboard, floor mats, and even the back of the rearview mirror. Furthermore, the needle of the tachometer is a miniature of Hotei's guitar.

These two models will be specially exhibited at the "BMW Group Studio" near Tokyo Station from July 3rd to 18th, and will then be sequentially displayed at authorized dealers nationwide starting from the end of July.
