When production of your classic Mini ceased in 2000, BMW (the new owner with the brand) introduced the successor to the Mini. The manufacturer name for the new automotive is MINI. and it really is commonly referred to as the "BMW MINI" or the "New MINI".
The new MINI is much larger than the original Mini. It is around 58 centimetres (23 in) longer, 50 centimetres (20 in) wider, 7 centimetres (2.8 in) higher, and weighs close to 1,050 kg (2,315 lb) rather than 650 kg (1,433 lb). It really is now categorised as compact automobile as opposed to city vehicle.
On 3 April 2007, the a single millionth MINI rolled out with the Oxford Plant after six years of production, just a single month longer than it took the classic Mini to reach the same total in March 1965.
