If there is one thing I would have liked as an option with the F56 is a smaller sized key fob. The standard key fob is HUGE and oddly shaped. A few of us over at North American Motoring have been discussing options since last year and thanks to the beauty of 3D printing, a viable solution looks to be available!!User “devries“ from the Netherlands designed this key fob cover in his 3D studio and uploaded the design to ShapeWays.com so that we all can order one! It is available for $7.50 in 11 different colors/finishes and looks to be a pretty good fit. There currently is a promo code over at ShapeWays.com that gets you $10 off your first order. Just use promo code “a9fau” to receive your discount and you pretty much get this key fob for free (just pay a couple dollars in shipping)!

MINI Trading Cards – Collect Them All!
Look for these cool MINI trading cards in your next issue of MC2Magazine.com. Complete with perforated edges, you can cut these 2-sided cards out and start your very own MINI trading card collection. The front of each card features the four current forms of the MINI, complete with pricing, miles per gallon and horsepower ratings. The back of each card carries over some of this same information but also includes some fun facts about each car. Of course MINI also had to include a stick of gum with each set of cards (beware – the gum is not edible). So the question is – will MINI add to this collection once the Clubman is released? We shall see…
