Convertibles may be a dying breed, but Mini is holding on. The F66 doesn’t have much to worry about in terms of competition. There are only a few small cars with folding roofs these days. While the rumored J03 with an electric powertrain unfortunately won’t happen, at least the petrol model remains part of this shrinking niche.
Fresh images taken along England’s south coast show the Cooper convertible in a particularly attractive specification. Photographed between Portsmouth and Dover, the convertible looks right at home in British Racing Green, the perfect color for its seaside backdrop. Mini chose a stylish set of 18-inch two-tone Slide wire wheels to complete the look.
In Great Britain, this F66 configuration is available in exclusive equipment. It’s halfway between the base Classic and the Sport (known as the John Cooper Works Tric in other markets). Vibrant silver accents enhance its visual appeal, complemented by beige synthetic leather (vescine) upholstery for an eye-catching combination.
Even if you don’t care about small cars or convertibles, you have to admit that this is a hijab. There is nothing like it in 2025; All the more reason to applaud Mini and the BMW Group for keeping the body style alive for at least another generation. The F67 seems to have a bright future ahead of it. Production is expected to continue until the end of 2030.
However, by the end of the decade we lost several convertibles from the BMW group lineup. The Z4 and 8 Series will be long gone, and the 4 Series Convertible (G23) is scheduled to bow by mid-2029. It is possible that this Mini could be the last petrol convertible in the group’s portfolio.
A two-door I4 with a folding top has been rumored, but there is currently no sign of another BMW convertible with an internal combustion engine. As BMW Blog Previously, a direct replacement for the 4 Series Convertible had not yet been approved. The outlook for these types of cars isn’t promising, so you might want to grab one while you still can.
