It was perhaps the appearance of the product which forced its makers to name this car as the Mini Cooper but if one considers the landmarks this car has toppled over the past six years of its existence they might reconsider its nomenclature.
The latest landmark to be toppled by the Mini Cooper is the crossing of the one-million production mark as the one-millionth production unit to roll out of the floor was a Cooper S hatchback, at BMW’s Plant Oxford.
The might of Mini can be ascertained by the fact that, when it first came into existence, BMW hoped to sell 1, 00,000 units per year and with in a time span of four years they had double the amount of buyers purchasing the Mini. Indeed, last month Mini recorded an all time highest monthly sales at 7,854 Minis.
The One-millionth unit was custom made for the BMW Mobile Tradition Heritage Division adorning a pepper white color scheme coupled by almond green coloring on the roof and similar colored interior leather. A special graphic on the hood depicts the milestone achievement.
The way things are shaping up for the BMW Mini, to ascertain another million units being produced want be a false notion as they have a whole array of new entrants lined up for this year .
