Thanks for the post.
As a Johnny Foreigner I have never heard of the 55 Program or of BMW's plans to take Rover upmarket. Another lost opportunity, pity.
The car is interesting, and quite attractive. I'm not sure I care for the lines (a bit Chrysler 200-ish but not as angular) and I do think the wheels are too big, although giant wheels seem to be a "thing" for manufacturers, even today.
