Best Car Insurance for the BMW Mini
The BMW Mini replaced the iconic car designed by Frank Stephenson in the 1960s. The original was built by the British Motor Corporation. The new Mini has been rebranded as the MINI in order to differentiate it from the previous version. Developed as a joint project by Rover in England and BMW in Germany, the initial design was carried out between 1995 and 2001. However, there was disagreement between the two companies as to whether the new car should be an economy car, which Rover wanted, or whether it should be a small sporting car, which was the BMW view. In the end, the BMW view prevailed. BMW eventually sold off Rover, but decided to keep the Mini project. The car was built at the BMW plant at Cowley in Oxford, instead of the original choice which was to be the Rover plant at Longbridge. Four models were produced in the first edition, the Mini One and a diesel version, the Mini One/D, and also a Mini Cooper and Mini Cooper S which were more sporty versions.
