Description
The BMW Mini: A Story of Design and Success Launched in 2001, the second generation Mini was an instant success for BMW. Based on a design brief that stated it could only be a Mini, the new car remained faithful to its heritage while offering numerous benefits, including increased size, engine power and performance. Motoring expert James Taylor explores the many aspects of design, development, engineering and marketing that went into producing a highly successful range of new models under the Mini brand. The book delves into how BMW has carefully retained the heritage of the original Mini while introducing subtle but significant changes to its three-door hatch model, as well as expanding its range to include the SUV Countryman and Paceman. The story also covers the introduction of new engines and fuel options, including hydrogen and electric. This comprehensive look at one of the world's most successful cars provides a complete picture of the BMW Mini's design, development and production.
