At the time when it originally came out, it had the smallest wheelbase around, for good handling and tossability.

And they ARE fun to drive. I love them. The S can be flung around like nobody's business... I remember going for test drive with a friend who wanted one, and the salesman took us offroad into some dirt and was doing itty bitty donuts with it...
I know Zoomie loves hers.
And they ARE a BMW, so the quality is very nice; I just can't see spending $40K for that Mini CUV.
