The MINI brand and BMW Group’s UK manufacturing plants in Oxford and Swindon are celebrating twenty successful years of MINI production. In early 2001, production began for MINI body parts in Swindon and on the 26th April that same year, the first new MINI rolled off the line in Oxford. Over the past two decades MINI has built over 5 million cars in the UK. Plant Oxford currently builds the MINI 3-Door Hatch, MINI 5-Door Hatch, MINI Clubman and the MINI Electric, all on the same production line. BMW Group Chairman of the Board of Management Oliver Zipse, who was head of manufacturing at MINI Plant Oxford from 2007-2008, said: “Congratulations to everyone at MINI Plants Oxford and Swindon for reaching such a great manufacturing milestone. I still have very fond memories of my time at Oxford. It was a real pleasure to work at the home and heart of the MINI brand with such engaging and passionate people, nearly one quarter of whom have dedicated these 20-years or more to building our cars.” more MINI Plants Oxford and Swindon employ over 4,500 highly skilled employees, including 130 apprentices, who all keep production moving to build 1000 MINI a day - one every 67 seconds. Peter Weber, Managing Director of Plants Oxford and Swindon (2019 – present) said: “I am extremely proud of our teams at Oxford and Swindon and the incredible job they do. Their continued commitment and passion over the past 20 years has helped to strengthen MINI’s reputation around the world.” Plants Oxford and Swindon have been at the heart of their communities for a very long time – 108 and 65 years respectively. In recent years, Plant Oxford has become a must-see tourist destination with 26,000 MINI fans enjoying the award-winning Plant Tours. With the MINI Electric going into production in 2020, Plant Oxford is already electrified and in the early 2030s, MINI will be the first BMW Group brand to go fully electric. Plants Oxford and Swindon have played a pivotal role in making MINI production more sustainable over the past 20 years and are vital to the BMW Group’s strategy to further reduce emissions.

MINI USA announced today the launch of a new MINI App that provides customers a new level of connectivity and digital services for their vehicles. The new MINI App features a new design along with an intuitive, simplified user experience, that offers updated features and information, including services for customers with electrified MINIs. The new generation app supersedes the MINI Connected App, further expanding the seamless integration of features to enhance the digital customer experience. The new MINI App runs on both iOS and Android operating systems and is now available to be downloaded free of charge from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. more New MINI App Features and Highlights • REMOTE ACCESS TO VEHICLE STATUS AND FUNCTIONS: The new MINI App is the new universal interface to the vehicle. It displays information about the status of the vehicle and offers access to remote services such as locking and unlocking the doors and locating the car via the “Vehicle Finder” button. • AMAZON ALEXA INTEGRATION: The new MINI App also provides integration with Amazon Alexa in vehicles from model year 2019 onwards. Once customers have linked their Amazon account to the app, the voice service can be activated with the touch of a button on the steering wheel and prompting “Alexa”. This makes it possible for customers to use voice control to play music, call up messages, control compatible smart home devices and access a wide range of functions via Amazon Alexa. • SMART SERVICES FOR ELECTRIFIED MINI OWNERS: The new MINI App offers services for the MINI Countryman Plug-In Hybrid and the all-electric MINI Cooper SE, with an improved overview of electric range as well as charging status. Using the app’s Charge and Climate Timer Function, customers can optimize the charging process by defining specific time windows and departure times. In addition, the vehicle’s interior can be pre-conditioned (heating in winter or cooling in summer) to increase comfort. • NAVIGATION FEATURES ON THE GO: Destinations are easy to find using the integrated search function and can be sent directly from the app to the vehicle's navigation system. It is also possible to send destinations from third-party apps. The map shows the current traffic situation, fueling and charging stations as well as parking facilities. • THE SHORTEST WAY TO MINI SERVICE. The new MINI App allows customers to keep an eye on their vehicle's service requirements. Depending on the preferences set, customers may receive notifications to the new MINI App when their vehicle requires service. They can then schedule a service appointment with their MINI dealer through the new MINI App. MINI Roadside Assistance can also be reached via the app in the event support is needed. With authorization, service staff can see the location of the vehicle and its status for immediate over-the-air assistance. Underpinning the rapid expansion of the new MINI App’s content and its fast-paced rollout is an innovative, scalable and universal software architecture. This has been developed fully in-house by the BMW Group using Flutter, an open-source UI development kit from Google for the Dart programming language. Its scalable universal architecture will support future requirements, allowing new functions and customer requests to be easily and quickly implemented. This helps to pave the way for constant advances, with rolling updates that allow functionality to be improved and expanded. The US launch of the new MINI App is part of a global roll-out that began last July, and by mid-2021 the new MINI App will have been launched in more than 40 countries and 23 languages around the world.

Perfectly networked, always online, seamlessly integrated, and always ready for typical MINI driving pleasure. This is how urban premium mobility presents itself in the digital age. Alongside the fresh, strikingly purist design and new equipment features, the extensively enhanced operating system with its additional digital services is a major highlight of the new editions of the MINI 3-door, MINI 5-door and MINI Convertible. Now more than ever, the unmistakable MINI feeling can be seamlessly integrated into the digital lifestyle. The refined premium ambiance in the interior of the MINI 3-door, MINI 5-door, and MINI Convertible also includes a redesigned centre instrument. An 8.8-inch touch display in black panel design is now standard. The control units for the audio system and the touch-sensitive favorite buttons are integrated flush into the high-quality Piano Black high-gloss surface. The light signal of the LED decor ring surrounding the centre instrument can correspond to the operation of the air conditioning, among other things. If the heat output is increased, the display moves to the red area; if the desired temperature is reduced, the display again moves to the blue area. In conjunction with the Ambient Light option, the LED decor ring features a distinctive laser engraving. more The current advances in the field of digitalization are also symbolized by the multifunctional instrument display on the steering column, which is part of the Connected Media option. The 5.0-inch color display, which also uses black panel technology, shows all relevant driving information. In the MINI Cooper SE (fuel consumption combined: 0.0 l/100 km; electricity consumption combined: 17.6 - 15.2 kWh/100 km according to WLTP, 16.1 - 14.9 kWh/100 km according to NEDC, CO2 emissions combined: 0 g/km) it also serves as a display for the charging status while connected to the power supply. The latest generation of the operating system in the MINI 3-door, MINI 5-door, and MINI Convertible ensure that driving pleasure is accompanied by a completely new user experience. Menu selection on the touch display of the center instrument becomes even more intuitive with a significantly modernized layout. For the first time, Live Widgets are available for this purpose, which can be selected by a swipe. The desired function is then enlarged in the center of the display. This means that operation in the MINI is even more closely aligned with the user behavior familiar from smartphones and other digital devices. The content of the Live Widgets and the order in which they are arranged can be configured individually. The standard configuration shows one widget each for the menu items Media, Communication, Navigation, Vehicle Settings, the MINI Connected Apps, and Messages. Depending on the function, the current status - for example, the route currently being taken on the navigation map or the last audio program selected - is always displayed on the corresponding graphic. In addition, the driver can now, for the first time, adapt the color world of the displays on the center - and the multifunctional instrument to his or her driving style and individual mood. Two modes are available for the graphic displays. In "Lounge" mode, a relaxing color world between turquoise and petrol is called up. Switching to the "Sport" mode makes the screen backgrounds glow in red and anthracite. If desired, the color worlds for the displays become part of an overall staged driving experience. In conjunction with the MINI Driving Modes, they are linked to the respective vehicle setting. For example, switching to the "SPORT" driving mode immediately activates the matching color world on the displays. In vehicles equipped with the Ambient Light option, the color worlds of the display can also be combined with the control of the interior lighting. There is then a choice of six interior light colors for each of the "Lounge" and "Sport" modes. In the MINI Cooper SE, the eDrive display on the center instrument provides information about the current energy flow, the range, and options for increasing it, for example by switching to GREEN mode. The Range Assistant of the navigation system checks whether the selected destination can be reached with the available energy capacities and suggests public charging stations along the route. In addition, charging stations are also listed under the so-called Points of Interest, including information about the available connections, the operator, and the payment modalities. With the Green Driving Assistant, the navigation system calculates the most efficient route to the destination. This also takes into account the individual driving style and the Real-Time Traffic Information. The use of third-party apps in the vehicle has also been further optimized. One of the most important innovations is the integration of the voice assistant Amazon Alexa. In the MINI 3-door, MINI 5-door and MINI Convertible, the voice assistant's capabilities can now be fully utilized - whether for selecting music tracks, creating a shopping list or controlling smart home functions. For all that, just a connection between the personal Amazon Alexa account and the MINI App is required. The integration of the digital service Amazon Alexa for the MINI is available for smartphones with the iOS or Android operating systems. In its latest version, the MINI App offers a particularly wide range of options for combining the fun of driving the MINI and the digitally designed areas of everyday life even more closely. In addition, the user-friendliness, safety and reliability of the MINI App have been further optimized. It acts as a universal interface to the vehicle. This means, for example, that information on the vehicle status can be called upon the smartphone and remote services such as locking and unlocking the doors can be activated. The MINI App can also be used to optimize charging processes and remotely control the climate control of the MINI Cooper SE. The interior can be pre-conditioned during the charging process so that the journey can begin in a pleasantly cooled or heated vehicle. Information on the charging status, charging history, and current range is displayed on the smartphone, as are public charging stations in the vicinity. In addition, the MINI App enables direct contact with the MINI Service Partner. The MINI Breakdown Service and the MINI Online Shop can also be conveniently accessed. By mid-2021, the MINI App will be available in more than 40 countries and in 23 languages.
