Hot news in the BMW camp is that their MINI Countryman is to be assembled here from CKD kits from the Graz plant. This will result in a cheaper MINI, with prices forecast to be under 2 million baht.
The imported MINI range will remain at around 2.5 million and up into 3 million.

There is no doubt that BMW have done very well with the resurrected MINI range, but for my money, the charm of the original Mini (which was small) has been lost. But then I am probably an old sentimentalist at heart.
