But BMW has been improving mini since it took it over in my opinion.
Personally, I think BMW nailed the driving aspects of the MINI. All BMW would have to do is upgrade the interior and its materials (use a lot less hard plastic and replace it with vinyl.)

As for the ride/driving feel, I hope BMW doesn't change it. Leave the rock hard suspension and keep the steering the same. I figure if BMW decides to soften up the suspension and make it a lot more compliant, I might as well just get a 1-Series.
