I'm going to an interview. The more detailed the information about the mini BMW, the better.

You asked for detailed information, so I posted it and copied it. Dude, I went to BMW. Work hard. I have no interview experience, so just calm down and take it easy (nonsense). Look at the following information, you will know a history, probably, models and advantages.

BMW MINI has won the favor of many young people with its unique appearance, dexterous handling performance and excellent safety performance. The noble status of the famous family and the noble atmosphere of England all over the body can make people feel his gentlemanly demeanor. In September 2000, the new MINI appeared at the Montero Auto Show, and the old MINI was discontinued.

1956 The Suez Canal War broke out and the oil crisis enveloped Britain. At that time, the British automobile company hired the famous automobile designer Issigonis. At that time, large cars were popular in Britain, but he obviously needed an economical car and asked the company to design it completely according to his idea, otherwise he wouldn't do it, and his request was quickly approved. Mini finally appeared in the autumn of 1959. People see that there are only four suitable seats in the 3.9-meter-long body, and the transverse engine machinery is concentrated in places that people don't need, between the two front wheels and under the back seat floor. Its mystery lies in the clever distribution of the center of gravity and the appropriate wheelbase and track. Since 1962, Mini has participated in various racing competitions and won many championships, such as 1962 Dutch Rally Championship, three Monte Carlo Championships and 1979 British Salon Championship, and won numerous all-weather racing championships. The racer thinks this car has incredible handling and road adhesion. 1988, Issigonis, an outstanding contemporary automobile designer, passed away. But his Mini worked miracles. The wheels of this car are only 25.4 cm, and the backward iron engine is much less powerful than other cars. How can you leave Porsche, Regal and Ford behind in the competition? The secret of Mini comes from technical advantages: ingenious center of gravity distribution, suitable wheelbase and track. Due to the dull appearance, many people tried to change this car into a "modern style" and improve its original design, but the results were unsuccessful. This is because Issigonis has carefully considered the design of mini-cars from the very beginning, which is self-contained. But it is precisely because of its plain and lovely appearance and excellent performance that it has won the favor and love of many people and become a private car of all grades. First of all, people who fall in love with mini-cars are some middle-class fashionistas in London and Europe. Many celebrities use it as a toy to drive around the city. At the same time, this cheap and economical car has become the private car of many ordinary people. The name Mini has even become a word in people's lives, and it has become synonymous with micro and pocket. Chinese transliteration "mini" is used in many commodities, such as miniskirts and mini speakers, but many people don't know that "mini" comes from the name of a car. This is also the only car name in the world that is used as a noun in life. Mini used to belong to Rover Motor Company. In 2000, Rover's Mini operation right will be handed over to BMW. After adjustment, at present, Mini only keeps two models: 1.3 liter and Cooper, and is equipped with negative airbag devices for driving. In its 40-year career, it has produced more than 5.4 million cars, making it the best single-brand car sales record in Britain. The old MINI was born in Britain, representing the imprint of social and historical changes in the 1960s. It is exquisite, interesting, inspiring and free, and it is one of the symbols of Britain in the 1960s. 1994, German BMW Group took over from its original manufacturer Rover, and devoted itself to the improvement of mini-cars. The birth of the brand-new MINI represents high-tech content, high-level production technology, outstanding product functions and strong brand image. Although there will be three versions of the new MINI, the specifications of the engine are the same, all of which are 1.6 liter and 4 cylinders. With the MINI COOPER entering the China market, we have the opportunity to experience this classic car with a legendary history of 40 years and a high reputation in the world.

MINI's design is simple and powerful, and the classical color and fashion sense are preserved in her. The big and round headlights confirm the pure blood and style of her MINI family. All mini models are coupes (except the new CLUBMAN. That's a four-door car), the door opening angle can reach 80 degrees at most, and it's convenient to get in and out of the door and the back seat. The short and compact body, flat roof and weird taillights make it look very streamlined and dexterous. The front cover is made of a single metal plate and extends to the wheel arch, which is a masterpiece of design and engineering. The integrated design of headlights and hood is not only eye-catching and unique, but also shows a highly accurate production and assembly process. The MINI waistline on the side slowly rises backwards, showing a dynamic sideways, which obviously reflects the performance orientation of the car. The inclination angle of the front and rear windshields is designed to be very small, and the side window glass has almost no curvature. The skylight is very large, covering almost the whole roof, and the door is frameless. In order to protect the glass and reduce the discomfort of passengers' ears when closing the door, the side window glass will automatically drop a little when opening the door and automatically rise after closing the door. The quaint chrome-plated door handle will make people feel nostalgic when held. It is precisely because of this that it is loved by more and more people.

Walking into the driver's seat, an eye-catching white round dial is very eye-catching, located in the center of the instrument panel, which can electronically display information such as vehicle speed, fuel quantity, coolant and other functional status. This layout has been a typical feature of MINI since 1968. Under this concept, the control keys and comfortable function knobs of the new MINI are surrounded around, and various functions and displays in the car are displayed with comfortable orange lights. There are six small bar switches under the console, which are inherited from the original MINI. These switches are spring buttons, which will automatically spring back to their original state after use.

The test drive is a manual transmission. If you want to drive conveniently and smoothly, you can choose automatic transmission. If you want MINI to be more sporty, you can use the six-speed semi-automatic function. Its 1.6 liter displacement engine can output the maximum power of 85 kW/1 15 HP. It can accelerate the car from 0 to 100 km/h in10 second, and to 160km/h in more than 20 seconds, and the top speed can reach more than 200 km/h. In the test of linear accelerator, it is easy to drag the car to 70km/h by manual first gear, and the peak torque has reached 30000. Downshifting to the third gear is overtaking and merging, which is full of power, just like a wild horse that has lost its rein, which is not easy for a car with a displacement of1.6L. ..

Many people are familiar with BMW's slogan, "Happy driving". This is a description of all BMW cars. The core concept of BMW is "fun", from appearance design to vehicle performance to design positioning of every technical detail. Although MINI is the most petite car in BMW, its power, smooth control, precision and sensitivity, and dynamic stability are still outstanding. The new MINI has the maneuverability of the previous generation MINI similar to that of a small racing car, and it is more balanced and comfortable to drive. When winding around the pile at a speed of 50 km/h, the four wheels are tightly attached to the ground, making the tires creak and creak, but the body just doesn't slip. Holding the steering wheel, the tire tracking feeling is excellent, which makes the driver very confident and doesn't treat her as a 1.6 displacement car at all. MINI front suspension adopts single pin sliding column swing arm structure, and rear suspension adopts multi-link design. The front drive shaft with equal length can ensure the balance of front wheel drive and steering response during turning, acceleration and braking. MINI equipped with all-weather anti-skid stability control system+tracking device (ASC+T) and dynamic stability control system (DSC) is more easily associated with a small family car with racing performance.

The appearance of the brand-new MINI Cooper has not changed much. Large and round headlights and unique flat top and short tail design inherit the style of MINI family. This petite and unique appearance has become the signature image of MINI. I believe that no matter how to upgrade and change models, the factory will not be willing to "reinvent itself". MINICooper's color matching is very rich. You can choose the same color as the body and roof, or you can choose a different color from the body and roof. In this test run, BMW provided two MINI Cooper, a blue body and a roof, for the test run around the pile; The other car has a red body and a white roof, which is used for field test.

The engine power is a little low.

MINI Cooper adopts front-engine front-wheel drive, and four-cylinder 16 valve engine displacement 1.6L Although the body is light, if you want to pursue sports passion, the power is still a little insufficient. 0- 100 km/h acceleration time 9.2s Although the result is good, the explosive force is not obvious.

Flexible control and good stability can give drivers full confidence.

MINI Cooper is equipped with four-wheel independent sports car suspension system and rear axle multi-link suspension system, which provides excellent road handling. In addition, the design of long wheelbase, low center of gravity, wide wheels and short tail makes this car extremely active in both pile winding and field testing, and there is no stage fright in front of BMW 5 Series and 7 Series. MINI Cooper's 195/55 R 16+06 tires provide good grip when running around the pile, and the left penetration and right insertion always give the driver enough confidence. In addition, the hard suspension system of the sports car can control the roll well, and with the smart body, it is easier to catch the car when winding the pile, and the speed can be kept at about 60 km/h, and there will be no tire rattling. MINI Cooper adopts electro-hydraulic direct power steering, which sinks at high speed, is light at low speed and has light control. However, when winding the pile, the road feeling is not clear enough and the wheel control is not direct enough. We chose F3 track for site testing, and MINI Cooper's performance on the track was also remarkable. Although the F3 track is not long, there are many corners, which can test the performance of the car in all directions. After the start, it is a straight road of about 300m m m. Although MINI Cooper can't bring a strong feeling of pushing back, it can easily increase the speed to above 100km/h/h, and then cut the corner in one go, followed by a "turn back", brake with one foot, slow down and accelerate the turn, and then make a continuous "S" turn. On the whole, MINI Cooper's performance on detours is quite steady and excellent. In contrast, straight acceleration and curve acceleration are slightly inferior. In fact, for an engine of 1.6L, we can't be too "reluctant".

High standard of safety measures

Whether it is active safety or passive safety, MINI Cooper undoubtedly sets a new example. MINI Cooper is equipped with innovative Runflat zero-pressure continuous running tires, which can drive cautiously at a speed below 80 km/h 150km when the tires are deflated. Therefore, there is no need to prepare a spare tire or tire repair agent, but a more advanced tire pressure warning device is equipped to remind the driver whether the tire pressure is abnormal. Taking BMW as the benchmark, the body rigidity and torsion resistance of MINI Cooper have reached the highest level in the world. In addition, eight airbags and protective devices in the door can effectively reduce the damage caused by impact to passengers. In addition, a new generation of optional head airbag (AHPS 2-advanced head protection system) can also greatly improve the safety, and can effectively protect the safety of drivers and passengers when the car body is hit from the side. Four-wheel disc brake, with ABS+EBD system, is always accurate and dexterous even under bad driving conditions. DSC dynamic stability control system (optional) can restore the stability of the vehicle in the fastest time and keep the vehicle stable and safe when the braking system cannot brake smoothly, such as finding the tendency of vehicle slipping.

The interior is exaggerated, but comfortable and practical.

When you sit in the MINI Cooper, you will immediately feel surrounded by a metallic round dashboard and control keys. Behind the steering wheel is a circular tachometer with a silver shell, a white dial, characters and orange hands, which are very clear. The dial can be adjusted with the position of the steering wheel. There are three dials above the center console, one large and one small, arranged symmetrically. The dial in the middle is a speedometer, and the style echoes the tachometer. Other control keys, such as door wrench, gear lever ring, etc., are almost round with metal texture, creating a space that seems to be built with a circle. The shape of the door trim panel is very different, but it is very comfortable and practical to use. MINI Cooper was originally designed as "a small economical car that can accommodate four passengers". The actual indoor layout is also two rows of seats, but it is a bit cramped to sit two adults in the back row, mainly because of the tight leg space. Nevertheless, the car's long wheelbase of 2467mm is commendable. The color matching of leather seats is sporty, but very comfortable. The steering wheel wrapped in leather feels excellent, with function buttons, which can directly operate the cruise control system and audio function. The constant speed system is controlled by the buttons at the front of the steering wheel, and the audio function is operated by the control keys at the back of the steering wheel. The electronic constant temperature air conditioning system is equipped with air micro-filter, which can automatically adjust the air volume and airflow distribution according to the outside temperature, sunshine intensity and the temperature measured in the car to reach the preset temperature. Its control panel has liquid crystal display function, and the system is equipped with activated carbon air microfiltration, which can effectively filter dust, pollen and other pollution sources outside the car.

Mini COOPER is a classic model in many people's minds and is sought after by many young and fashionable men and women. Mini's shape is small and sharp, and the interior is fashionable and retro. Under the gorgeous appearance, it has strong power and flexible control. It can be said that MINI COOPER is an advanced mini-car that is not limited by age and identity. MINI's door has a large opening angle, which makes it easy to get in and out of the door and the back seat. Its front cover is made of a single metal plate, and the headlights and hood are also designed in one piece, showing the "exquisite" technology of MINI. At the same time, the inclination angle of the front and rear windshields is designed to be very small, and the side windows have almost no radian. Its old chrome-plated door handle will make people feel a little nostalgic. The engine carried by MINI COOPER can output the maximum power of 88 kW/120 HP. The MINI COOPER S can output 128kW/175 horsepower. MINI COOPER can accelerate the car from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.4 seconds. At the same time, the top speed of 197 km/h can also meet the needs of riders who pursue "driving pleasure". MINI equipped with all-weather anti-skid stability control system+tracking device (ASC+T) and dynamic stability control system (DSC) is more like a small "racing car" at home! Driving a MINI has the feeling of driving a kart!

New mini Cooper

Manufacturer's guide price: 280,000-365,000 yuan.

As the concept model of the fourth core product of the MINI product family, the MINI crossover concept car made its debut in Asia at this year's Shanghai International Auto Show. This proves once again that MINI attaches importance to the China market. In the near future, the mass production mode of this product will become a brand-new bright spot of mini products in China market.

The new generation MINI convertible enters the China automobile market with two models: the new generation MINI Cooper convertible is equipped with a 1.6-liter 88kW/120 HP four-cylinder engine, which has really excellent sports quality. This engine is equipped with a fully variable valve management system developed according to BMW Group's unique VALVETRONIC electronic valve technology, thus obtaining excellent torque curve, strong power and outstanding efficiency. The new generation MINI Cooper convertible accelerates to 100 km/h 1 1. 1 s, with a top speed of191km/h. Its average fuel consumption is 6.9 liters/100.

Mini club member

Manufacturer's guide price: 299,500-390,000.

There has never been a mass-produced extended version of the car that can be described as "cute". Only Mini Clubman, with creative and imaginative split doors and more spacious seating space, is more attractive than before and has become a new symbol of personal taste and consumption power. The real car is much more beautiful than the photo. Clubman's visual cuteness has not been affected by the extension of the body by 244 mm The unique design implemented since the B-pillar highlights extraordinary and wonderful creativity, which is a cleverly planned trap for consumers who love fashion products. As long as you love fine products, few people can stop its powerful power. Mini Clubman doesn't think this is a woman-only car at all, because this Mini Clubman is the largest one in the mini family. Mini Clubman is a real mini. Before B-pillar, Mini Clubman was very similar to Mini Cooper, and the width and height of Mini Clubman did not change much, following all the classic design elements of Mini family. Viewed from the side, Clubman is actually an "extended Mini", with the length and height increased by 238mm and 19mm respectively, the wheelbase increased from 2467mm to 2547mm, the lines on the side were obviously lengthened, and a Clubdoor with reverse opening was added at the rear of the co-pilot position, which is very convenient for the back seat passengers to get on and off. The opposite door at the rear of the car is not only an innovation, but also a new interpretation of the previous design details. The biggest feature of Mini Clubman is that its doors have increased from three to five, but these five doors are different from our usual five doors. Clubman's body is still a single door design on the left side, but a Clubman is added on the right side, and a personalized door-to-door design is adopted. This design is not only functional, but also adds a lot of color to the car, which can save the embarrassment of bending over in the past and make it more convenient to get in and out of the back row of the Mini. For safety reasons, the club door can only be opened when the front door is opened. Just like its name, Clubdoor has no external door handle design, which can make it more harmonious in appearance into the body of Mini Clubman. The two pairs of back doors at the rear of the car are the most prominent places for Clubman to inherit Mini Traveller. This kind of split door is very creative and quite different in today's hatchback fashion. However, this design is not practical, it will require more space when it is fully opened, and it will be a little inconvenient to put luggage against the wall or on the roadside. Mini Clubman inherits the unique driving pleasure of mini family. The 1.6L engine from BMW Technology adopts advanced manufacturing technologies such as split crankcase base structure and VALVETRONIC electronic valve control. The maximum power reaches 88kW at 6000r/min, and the maximum torque 160Nm appears at 4250r/min. The 32-bit ECU can accurately control the torque change and power output of the engine. At 2000 rpm, the engine can explode 90% of the maximum torque. With the 6-speed automatic transmission, the acceleration time of 0- 100km/h given by the manufacturer is 10.9 second. The maximum safe vehicle speed is 195km/h/h, and the Mini Clubman follows the 1.6L engine and 6-speed automatic gearbox of ordinary Mini, and is equipped with sports gear mode and shift paddles. This configuration is quite suitable for ordinary mini. The short wheelbase and light body give it a control DNA similar to a sports car. However, the same configuration is a bit difficult to use on Mini Clubman. When fully loaded with four people, the D-block feels a little weak, the movement mode is too radical, and it lacks a sense of fluency. It seems that the Mini has increased the space of Clubman, so there is no improvement in comfort in handling. I don't know why I didn't waste enough time driving on the wide deep south road. The Mini Clubman version didn't give me the feeling of instant heartbeat acceleration, especially in the middle and low speed range, the throttle response was slightly sluggish, and I could obviously feel the sense of frustration when shifting gears. I wonder if this has anything to do with BMW's six-speed automatic gearbox. The previous generation Mini used CVT gearbox. It seems that BMW's six-speed automatic gearbox is more suitable for engines above 2.0. Although the Mini Clubman has increased the wheelbase and rear suspension, it still retains the dexterous driving experience like a mini kart through excellent chassis adjustment. Driving on the Binhai Avenue, the crosswind is strong, but the McPherson front suspension of Mini Clubman gives way clearly and directly, with full direction feedback and crisp correction action. Whether accelerating or braking, the steering system is completely unaffected and very accurate. The innovative multi-link rear suspension structure is a unique structure of Mini, which can ensure that the tires always keep the best contact with the road. EPAS (Electric Power Steering System) provides accurate information feedback on road conditions and driving conditions for drivers. This power-assisted function of changing the steering wheel according to the vehicle speed ensures the accuracy and flexibility of the Mini. MINI Clubman's chassis and steering are as precise and tough as the hatchback MINI, but when cornering, it feels that the body follow-up is obviously slow, and the cornering posture is a bit slow, which is not as dynamic as the mini. The situation is a bit like that of BMW 5 Series Li, but this time MINI Clubman feels more obvious, and the detours of daily speed can already be felt, while 5 Series Li only feels changes in the middle and high speed corners. Fortunately, there is also a positive side. Thanks to a more reasonable wheelbase, MINI Clubman has a stronger sense of stability in high-speed corners than a small MINI, and the firmness of the car body is no different from that of a small mini without doors. Theoretically, the Clubman with a longer wheelbase will have a higher cornering limit than the MINI, which is already very high, so the MINI clubman is definitely not a minivan when cornering, but a real small sports car. This test drive has made us more fascinated by Mini. Clubman not only allows designers to fully display their creativity and ideas, but also takes into account various functions and ride comfort, so that car owners can express themselves more comfortably without discount.

New generation mini convertible

Manufacturer's guide price: 429,500 yuan

Through continuous improvement of vehicle design, more practical functions, the most advanced and sophisticated suspension technology, more powerful and economical engine and optimized safety technology, the new generation MINI convertible has raised its advantages and quality to a higher level. At the same time, the new attractive color selection and equipment functions add a new style to its style and taste. Finally, excellent materials and technology emphasize the unique position of MINI convertible as the only high-end convertible in its class. The high-quality soft roof of the new generation MINI convertible with sliding roof function also provides passengers with wind and rain protection. When the speed is lower than 30 km/h, the soft top can be completely retracted, and the whole process only takes 15 seconds, which gives the new generation MINI convertible a truly excellent use and quality: a car eager to be open all the year round. The switchable timer next to the tachometer symbolizes this challenge to the driver. This novel timepiece shows drivers and passengers the time of open-top driving-encouraging drivers to really enjoy the passion of open-top driving as much as possible. The new generation MINI convertible provides excellent daily driving quality through convenient loading function. The rear seats on both sides can be folded separately, and the large through loading function between the luggage compartment and the carriage increases the capacity of the luggage compartment to an amazing 660 liters. This unique variability of the convertible is realized through the innovative design and structure of the rollover bar: the new generation MINI convertible is equipped with an integrated rollover bar behind the back seat, which is hidden in the entire width of the car and will not block the driver's backward vision, but will only automatically rise when it is about to roll over. When the new generation MINI convertible is put on the market, it offers two different engines to choose from. MINICooper convertible has provided excellent sports quality from the beginning. 1.6 liter four-cylinder power unit, equipped with fully variable valve management system, reaches the maximum output power of 88 kW/120 HP at 6000 rpm. MINICooperS convertible pays more attention to power performance. The equipped 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine adopts double scroll turbocharger and gasoline direct injection technology, and can output the maximum power of 128 kW/175 HP at 5500 rpm. Its powerful power and dynamic performance are refreshing. MINICooperS convertible and mini Coopers convertible come standard with a six-speed automatic transmission. At the same time, the amazing handling of the new generation MINI convertible also benefits from the suspension technology significantly strengthened and improved over the previous generation. As the standard is equipped with advanced wheel suspension, extremely accurate electromechanical steering assist system, powerful braking system and DSC dynamic stability control system, this mini convertible perfectly combines excellent flexibility with overall safety, which is an example. The new generation mini convertible will be launched in the world at the 2009 North American International Auto Show.
