BMW is going to Make Electric Mini. Only in California. Only 500 of Them.

 

 You will be able to see it next month at the Los Angeles Auto show

BMW has its Oxford, UK, plant building Minis without engines, transmissions or fuel tanks, and then ships them to Munich where the electric drivetrains are installed.

 

"BMW sources told Automotive News Europe that 490 of the Minis will be leased to selected customers in California and 10 will be used as show cars."
The electric Minis are painted silver and have yellow roofs, the sources said.

 

 

    BMW engineers working on the electric Minis are part of a new division called Project i established by the automaker to develop low-emission city cars.
The electric Minis will help BMW to meet new California regulations that will require carmakers selling cars in the state to offer zero emission vehicles.

 

 

    Mini spokesman Cypselus von Frankenberg did not confirm that BMW is building electric Minis. But, we will find out in less then a month.
