Whether you are a teenager or a man or woman of certain years, BMW and Mini cars found here just ooze coolness, but for quite different reasons.

For BMW think senior manager of a company, good salary and generous bonuses. If he or she is single, then a top of the range BMW is a perfect magnet, attracting admiring glances wherever it goes.

If married, he or she probably has a detached house in a good area and they probably send their kids to private school. Not forgetting the expensive hobbies such as golf and horse riding and several foreign holidays a year, plus of course the second home. The BMW really is a status symbol, announcing to people that you have made it to the upper echelons of society.

A mini, though, is cool for quite different reasons and although one imagines them predominantly owned by youngsters, people of all ages actually aspire to drive one. Just think 'The Italian Job' and you will understand why they are so cool and covetable. They are not cheap, it has to be admitted, and this is sometimes a barrier to younger people buying minis. Chock full of gadgets and knobs, the mini is classy in a retro way and yet conflictingly modern.

Are you a BMW person or a mini person? It says a lot about you….
