Anybody unable to auction this summer's open-air highlight on ebay has the opportunity to admire the MINI Convertible at dealerships as of the middle of June. Introducing the new MINI, the BMW Group has succeeded in taking up a myth as if there had not been the slightest interruption in between - more than 400,000 MINIs built since the market launch in September 2001 are clear proof of MINI's success and popularity. As a global brand, MINI - with the MINI One, MINI Cooper, MINI Cooper S and MINI One D - is an independent marque within the BMW Group, forming the third major pillar in the Group's premium brand strategy next to BMW and Rolls-Royce. And the new model entering the market towards the end of June is the MINI Convertible in the guise of the MINI One (66 kW/90 bhp) and MINI Cooper (85 kW/115 bhp). The MINI Cooper S Convertible developing a muscular 170 bhp, finally, will be following in August.
