MINI PRICES ANNOUNCED

MINI One and MINI Cooper go on sale in the UK on July 7 and prices have been
announced that will set the pulses of MINI fans racing. MINI One will have an
on-the-road price of £10,300 (retail list price of £9,900) and MINI Cooper will
be available on the road at £11,600 (retail list price of £11,200). Built in
Oxford, MINI goes on sale in Britain two months before anywhere else in the
world.

Trevor Houghton-Berry, General Manager for MINI in the UK commented: "We're
pleased to announce these seriously competitive UK prices for MINI. With its
outstanding performance and handling, its practicality, safety features and
unbeatable specification, we know UK car buyers are going to love it! We
reckon it's the best car on the market at its price."

MINI qualities - driving dynamics, safety and specification :

With its wheel-at-each-corner design, wide track, low centre of gravity, short
overhangs and a torsional stiffness two to three times greater than any other
car of its size, MINI's driving dynamics are simply stunning. A fast steering
rack and BMW's state-of-the-art rear Z-axle suspension help to give razor sharp
reactions - a real kart-like experience -in complete safety.

Electronic driving stability systems help to keep MINI under control and
pointing in the right direction under extreme driving conditions or in an
emergency. These include ABS (anti-lock braking system), EBD (electronic
brake-force distribution), and CBC (cornering brake control) as standard. BMW's
widely praised Dynamic Stability Control System (DSCIII) is an option. Four
airbags come as standard with an additional head airbag system also available.

The MINI range:

MINI One offers bags of performance and driving enjoyment with 90 bhp producing
a top speed of 115 mph and a 0-62 mph time of 10.9 seconds. Maximum torque of
140Nm (101 lb ft) at 3,000 rpm ensures MINI One maintains excellent mid-range
pull, providing the best drive available for around ten thousand pounds.

MINI Cooper adds the much-loved sporty design details, associated with the
famous name, to the added power that ensures every drive in the car will leave
a lasting impression. A top speed of 125 mph from 115 bhp gives a 0-62 time of
just 9.2 seconds, whilst the handling remains poised and the car feels glued to
the road.
