SPIED: FIRST Shots Of The Next-Gen MINI Cooper's Interior Reveals Two Things - We Tell YOU One, YOU Find The Other

In this very cool spy shot, you'll notice relatively quick that this all-new MINI Cooper will lose its centrally mounted speedometer. In my opinion, that's a good move. It was a style piece and, frankly, an annoying one at that.

If you take a peek elsewhere in the photo, you'll definitely notice something else. Hell, I can even spot a third little easter egg. Jeez, I even see a fourth!

The question is, can YOU see what I am talking about?

If so, shout it out in the comments below.

Mini’s trademark large central speedo has been axed for the next generation of models, according to these exclusive spy pictures.

The interior of the new Mini Cooper model spied here has largely the same look as the current model's, including the large, circular display for the centre console. But the large speedo that runs around the circumference of the current car's display is absent in this development model.

Although instantly recognisable, the Mini’s large speedo has often been critcised for being hard to read. Indeed, a second digital speedo on the instrument binnacle is fitted to current Minis...

I hope they use better quality materials (plastics). The plastic interior in my daughter's MINI squeaks a little too much.

Well the steering wheel is straight off of the F30 3series & it looks like the updated version of the iDrive controller is also making a cameo as well!!!!

Great shot, a little too revealing for MINI's sake but I love the sneak peek... I am digging the Engine Start/Stop Red toggle switch. I guess all F56s will have CA since there is no where to insert the key. I like that I am seeing the next gen. i Drive as well, that will be a huge improvement over the previous set up. Dual Zone climate control! Not sure it's needed, but since MINI now shares with the 1 series we get that and the seat thigh extensions too. This F56 MINI is going to be a huge success, I can feel it!

Still looks as gimmicky as before.
