Millionth Mini

The one-millionth new Mini has rolled off the production line at the BMW-owned manufacturing facility in Oxford.

The event happened just six years after the launch of new Mini, and in March the brand set a new record of 7,854 sales.

New Mini has customers across 80 markets around the world and almost 80% of production is exported.

The colour of the millionth Mini Cooper S is Pepper White with a specially-developed paint for the roof, Almond Green, accentuated by a ‘million’ graphic extending onto the bonnet.

The interior matches the roof with leather seats, steering wheel and gearknob all in Almond Green leather. The car will not be sold, but instead is going into the BMW Group's heritage division, Mobile Tradition. BB.
