Give them a call. I was in their shop when they were mocking it up. Looked awesome. Alot more low profile then the M7 scoop.

Do you mean the BBR Ram Induction Bonnet Air Inlet Venturi kit? as seen on this web site? http://www.bbrgti.com/mini.php http://www.bbrgti.com/images/miniram.jpg
If so, I like the looks of it much better imo and it's less expensive
EDIT---my mistake bbm is not the same as the bbr

Anyway, I think it looks good too - and based on the link Wenzor provided it looks like it is being used for performance and hopefully tested for effectiveness.
If you find out more about it please post, thanks

The phone call
The word from http://www.baybridgemotors.com/ ... "it is in the works". "Too many projects going on currently."

My friend and I are developing a scoop that will actually open up the intake area. And rest assured, there will be no complaints about it's aesthetics
As soon as we get into primer stage, I'll post some images. We're doing this for ourselves as all of the current designs are still ramming air into the same small area. We wanted to inprove the volume of air being forced in with minimal drag increases (if any) AND create something aesthetically pleasing while complimenting the Mini's design. The later issue is not important to some but we want to create a design that will look "factory" issued. Also, these will be designed as direct replacements and not require modifications. Once the prototypes are completed, we'll do road testing to measure the air intake temp improvements...we hope
If the testing goes well, we'll entertain if there's a market for these. No promises for production but we'll cross that road when we get there :smile:

Not a problem. Everyones tastes varies and even I wasn't taken with the photos of ours before I saw it in person. The BBM looks great and if we had not come out with our own I would be in the line to get one of those myself.

I hope no one's thinking that I'm implying that any of the current designs are ugly or of poor design. We just want to try one that has a larger intake volume for our selves and see if that would improve airflow...it HAS to be functional or we'll stop developement. While we're at it, might as well design it to satisfy our personal taste...you know us designers...never satisfied:smile: BTW...we don't have any intentions of entering the mass market. We figured that we have the skills/resources to attempt this and so, why not try this for ourselves
