Hardly new to MINI, they have been around for about 3 years.
It's a shame MINI didn't team up with Brompton to make the bikes for them, it's possible to get 2 Brompton's in the boot of a MINI.

Brompton folded 58 x 54 x 27cm.
MINI bike folded 85 x 65 x 30cm.

I could not agree more about the Brompton, extremely well made and very compact. However it is the Bentley of folders; quite pricey. You could buy two bikes for the price of one of a Brompton. I tried out a MINI folder and found it to be great in every way except ride height. I'm tall and it just did not fit perfectly. After some searching I decided on a Tern D8 http://www.ternbicycles.com/ca/bikes/link-d8 it's got a slightly higher seat. Mine came with fenders, carrier and a bag that stores the folded bike allowing you to take it indoors or on transit. It also has 20" wheels that make for a smoother ride.

Oh and just to stay on topic, it fits nicely in the back of my F56
Cheers,

Now if only there were a way to get a folding recumbent tadpole trike in there I'd be in MINI heaven. Haven't tried to cram my Greenspeed into the F56 yet, but if it fits I'll be one happy camper.

So what if I need to drive with a pedal stuck in my ear?
