This sporty, charismatic, and classy car, manufactured by BMW, is named for a very colorful area of London, just in time to celebrate London hosting the Olympic Games.
It will be manufactured as a limited edition in honor of the hosting country, displaying “Bayswater” side lettering on the door sills, and leather bolster seats, making this vehicle unique in its limited edition release.
The Mini Bayswater is very much like the Mini Baker Street, yet its special edition color is Kite Blue Metallic.
Exterior
The exterior of the Bayswater is offered in Kite Blue metallic, limited edition color with a contrasting black roof, or it can also be ordered in Midnight Black metallic, or Eclipse Grey metallic paint schemes.
The hood also features the newly designed and unique Sport Stripes in a “V” shape. It has 17″ Sandblast alloy wheels, which have black high-gloss surfaces, and bright rim and spoke machined edges.

Interior
The interior consists of a Piano Black cockpit trim, Punch Leather seats that bolsters of a metallic sheen, completed with blue and grey stitching to contrast. It sports stainless steel pedals, and the Chrome Line Interior package. It is classy, with quality work, to look great, and to last a long time.

The Mini Bayswater will be offered late in 2012, and because it is a limited edition, a very limited number will be made.
