  • It cost loads more to build cars in England, thats why british car manufacturers were rubbish and foreign cars makers moved there plants abroad. The engines for the mini are built in Brazil. Minis are not built to the usual bmw standards

  • How is BMW treating workers with "utter contempt"? Their British division is not making as much money so they needed to scale back on workers. I don't like how he says "these people" because guess what? BMW could make mini's in Germany for about the same money and make huge improvements in quality if they wanted to.

  • They should be grateful that a foreign manufacture is willing to have a factory in the U.K. Its far easier and cheaper to build cars in europe.

  • whers the video??

  • Sorry for these guys. Times are tough. My mother called me today to say she lost her job of 10 years. She was in tears. The US economy is also in shambles.
