BMW took the name & made a modern car around it. It's rather like suggesting McD is food....yes, but not. If I wanted to drive a Mini, give me the product of BMC.....if you want a crash, give me the BMW......
Great video. I'm an American stationed in England. I have owned 2 Minis...both 1982 Mayfairs. Great little cars. However I sold them off and bought a US Spec R56 MINI Cooper S. I love it, it is great and fun. Before this I owned a '99 Mustang GT. The MINI is every bit as cool. I'd like to add that ALL post 1994 Minis were built by Rover via funding from BMW. BMW is even printed in the owners manuals for those post '94 Minis. Stop the fighting...
i love this vid and it says what the mini is FANTASTIC but i think its should be more for the classic as its 10 years old the bmw mini and i think its a little american and everyone knows the mini is british and the americans banned it because of its safety
but their are my criticisms only and i congratulate the person who made this fantastic video
Please don't knock the NEW MINI. I had the classic MINI and ive got a new MINI COOPER. It drives better, is safe, brilliant on the motorway, fast, 50mpg, BMW quality and full of character - it's like having a pet do! The old Mini was lovely, but the NEW MINI is simply FANTASTIC. BMW have done a great job - you hould be thankful ROVER didn't get their hands on it!
I think all the purists need to relax! Jeez people, it's called change and it happens regardless of how much you want to fight it. accept the new MINI and relish the old...above all coexist and celebrate both with equal enthusiasm. The old Mini's are in every way inferior to the new MINI but he new MINI will never have the direct impact of the first MIni. That is the truth!
the new mini is a great car,the problem is it is not a suitable replacement, too big heavy to be called a mini, eg, the new fiat 500 has been beautifully done in keeping with the original, I own a MK 3 cooperS 1973, still brings a smile to my face;
I totally agree with the others that MINI is not a Mini. Different people, different car, dispite the fact that some of the 'classic' owners have one for their work. They keep having feelings for the 'real' thing...But different people different opinions....that is why al minis are the same, but their not, just only take a look at what was on the IMM in Birmingham, classic rules btw.....
Obvious that a MINI will never be a Mini, but I think it's a beautiful hommage to it. It's a hell of a car, with a very unique spirit, that stands out for a different tipe of living.
I have a MINI and I love it, but I would love to have a classic one too.
I think that people should be flattered that MINI stills on people's hearts and lives!
Classic mini was made by BMW also. You classic's need to grow up your children. A Mini and MINI are of the same breed. obviously MINI owners have grown up and SOME classic owners have not (Brexxl/mininadNeil/ MiniCooperArno8Susan etc etc...) Tierd of your boring comments. You still watched a video full of all mini's
Your right. A Chinese company should have bought Rover so they could make a copy of your beloved Mini over in China. You damn classic owners need to get off your high horse and be glad BMW is carrying on the legacy properly.
The original Mini is the best. It was the car which set the scene for every small car since.
Not MINI.

Allthough I like the looks of the New MINI, it will never ever really replace the original..sorry for all owners out there.
Just a the New Beetle is but a monster of a replacement over the old.
Hope they never will invent the 'New 2CV' OMG just the thaught of it...
I just love the old one: okay it isn't that fast or a coffin on wheels.
Did you ever have as much fun in another car as you did in a Mini...ever?
I hope mine ('82 1000HLE) never dies.
Take care..

and I'm sick of people pretending a BINI is a Mini when it's not
we're upset because they stopped making real minis and using its name on something completely different
you like Binis? ok, they're nice, but that is NOT a Mini, and if you've driven a real Mini you know what I'm talking about

Mini is the only Mini !
MINI isn't a Mini and it sure isn't a small car !
But thanks for sharing this video because I see lots of nice Mini's in it.
And I'm talking about the classic one !
Allright the MINI is a nice new car for people who love modern cars, it has a nice shape but will never be a Mini...
