This is the first red BMW 135i Cabriolet we’ve spotted to date. It really looks like a well-proportioned model, and will definitely be entertaining with that twin-turbo powerplant. We like the simplicity of a fabric roof rather than a folding metal item. Should be a winner.

The thinking man’s Jeremy Clarkson - AA Gill has reviewed the latest MINI Cooper S for The Sunday Times.

mini cooper s
