MINI Convertibles Come With a Wealth of Options and Features

Woodcliff Lake, NJ - June 30, 2004... MINI USA is pleased to announce the
official pricing for the much-anticipated MINI Convertibles which go on sale
September 1st, 2004. The MINI Cooper Convertible debuts with a base MSRP of
$21,500 while the MINI Cooper S Convertible comes on the scene with a base MSRP
of $24,950. These prices include a destination charge of $550.

The MINI Convertibles come standard with a fully automatic power soft top that
integrates a unique power sliding sunroof that can be opened and closed at
speeds up to 75 miles-per-hour. Additionally, the innovative top design is
engineered to maximize available storage. With the top in the up position, the
rear portion of the top can be unlatched to hinge upward and expand the opening
to the rear cargo area. With the MINI Convertible's standard 50/50 split
fold-down rear seats, this clever design allows customers to fit larger items
through the boot lid opening into the back.

The top also comes with a heated rear glass window and is available in three
distinct colors - black, blue and green. On the subject of colors and customer
choice, the MINI Convertibles are available in 12 colors with Hot Orange and
Cool Blue exclusive to the convertible models.

A high level of standard safety is built into the MINI Convertibles. In
addition the front impact airbags the MINI Convertibles offer side impact
airbags that protect the thorax and head of both front passengers in the event
of a side impact. Thanks to MINI's design, conceived from the start with both a
hardtop and a convertible in mind, the MINI Convertibles are rigid with added
structural enhancements to the A-pillars, side door sills and a high-strength,
light weight aluminum roll-over bar contoured and integrated with the rear
headrests.

A lot of value is standard in the MINI Convertibles at an attractive MSRP.
However, the MINI Convertibles also offer a whole host of optional features and
equipment to give customers the opportunity to build their own unique MINI
Convertible.

In addition to the plethora of stand-alone options available for MINI customers

order packages. Both the Premium and Sport packages are available for the MSRP
of $1,350 and the Cold Weather package is available for $300.
