You're confusing BMW and Mini.

the new mini is a bmw

because i want to know where i should install the lcd display, it should be 7"

He's right you know. The new minis /are/ made by BMW.

Yep, Mini's are. Can't really call them mini's anymore tho. They have a pretty cool setup inside, I think the mini in the Italian Job had an LCD mounted in it, but it might have just been my imagination. Look on the attached document, best place to put one looks to be in the center console.

Finaly some one is putting a carputer in one, have been waiting for this for a while.

what is that space belows the center dash stereo and junk? Measure that for a 7" diagonal. And carputer can easily slit into that "glovebox" wth a cover to hide the parts.

The Mini is cool. I'd think about buying one, but I think it'd be too much work to replace the guages with some that don't look so stupid.
