British Motor Corporation (BMC) and its successor produced the MINI from 1959 until 2000. Then a new generation evolved that added state-of-the-art technology, quality, reliability and modern levels of safety to traditional MINI values. The significant feature that influenced the next generation car-makers was its space-saving front-wheel-drive layout. MINI has its distinctive position on the small-car market. It offers world class technology compared to other small cars as well as high levels of agility and style.

The numerous "special editions" of the MINI shifted the car from a mass-market item into a style icon. It was this image that possibly helped the MINI become such an asset for BMW. MINI Coopers come in three types; Hatchback, Convertible and Clubman.

Eco-friendly MINI

Thankfully MINI realized much earlier how important it was to work in harmony with nature. The reduction of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption is a top-priority issue at MINI. The MINI One D and the green version - The MINI Cooper D are among the most ecological members of their segment with fuel consumption of just 3.9 l/100 and CO2 emissions of 104 g/km. Also, most of the parts used to build a MINI can be dismantled quickly and recycled economically.

Advantage MINI

Killer Looks

The interior just says: "Get in and drive me!" The tough aircraft-style switches look awesome while the ambient lighting, the colors of which you can change to suit your mode, are surprisingly unbelievable.

Easy Riding and Handling

It's not just the good looks which brings a smile on your face, the handling is superb especially with the MINI's wide stance gripping the road resolutely.

Economic Running Costs

MINI brings along with itself good economy. It returns a very respectable average of 48.7 mpg. When you buy this you get a Roadside Assistance Package for three years with unlimited mileage warranty for the same duration. With its desirability and waiting lists, you can fetch a good amount too when you sell it.

Extra Safety

You feel safe and stable at legal and legal plus highway speeds. It has a range of modern day safety features that include curtain-type airbags, which protect the head and shoulder in a side-impact crash. The braking system is also excellent. Along with a full skid control system, BMW has provided a "cornering brake control" that varies brake pressure among the wheels to help prevent spinouts when braking heavily in a turn.

Add on

All MINIs have electric mirrors and windows, alloy wheels, a CD player and six airbags. If you buy the MINI Cooper S you get additional sports features, including sports suspension and design features. You would also benefit from the satellite navigation system and ambient light pack.

X-Factor

Your MINI can fit into any parking space and get through any tight gap. It may look like a grocery getter but it drives like a sports car and has been one of the top runners in 70s sports car racing.

Awards

The MINI Cooper D was nominated for WhatGreenCar.com Car of the Year Awards, in 2008.

The North American Car of the Year award for 2003 was won by BMW MINI Cooper/Cooper S.

Get a MINI and enjoy all the attention

The BMW Hydrogen Hybrid Cars

With BMW's announcement that they're developing several models of hybrid vehicle to be introduced over the next few years a new market segment is starting to emerge - the luxury hybrid. Well known for innovation, quality, and style in the standard car market, BMW's entry into the hybrid market is sure to have a positive effect on the future of non-fossil fuel powered vehicles.

BMW 7 Series Hybrid
The first BMW hybrid model to be available will be in the popular 7 Series. Already in testing, this car will run on both Hydrogen and gasoline. The primary challenge of developing this kind of hybrid in comparison to the fuel cell technology that other manufacturers are using is in keeping the Hydrogen in liquid form so it's usable by the engine.

Because Hydrogen is only liquid at very low temperatures and the natural state of the engine compartment is very hot, keeping the hydrogen from getting too hot and evaporating is a significant challenge. Issues with transporting and storing Hydrogen at fuel stations is also an issue as is making the fuel available in enough locations to give motorists enough places to refuel to make owning the car practical.

Hydrogen Power
In contrast to other car manufacturers who are concentrating on gas/electric hybrids with the eventual goal of producing all-electric vehicles, BMW's plan has nothing to do with electricity or the heavy and expensive batteries that storing and delivering electricity to a vehicle requires.

BMW already boasts a car that runs completely on water and, with their proven technology that produces Hydrogen from sunlight, they believe an entirely self-sustainable fuel system using solar cells to product Hydrogen that will then power the vehicle is viable within the next decade.

Into the Future
The driving force behind BMW's push for Hydrogen fueled vehicles are the benefits they believe Hydrogen has over alternate fuels like gasoline, electricity, or other solid fuels. Not does Hydrogen pose no environmental threat and produce no emissions it's also a completely renewable form of energy that uses no natural resources that aren't easily replenished.

BMW's plan to eventually produce a car that runs entirely on Hydrogen produced by boiling water with energy from the sun (through solar cells) is certainly an exciting notion. Only time will tell if they can pull it off but the incredible promise of what they're trying to do makes this writer hope that they do.
