I was at Mini today and had the guided tour with about 50 people from the Netherlands.

In fact we saw all kinds of cabrio drawings in a quality control room; also schedules were there. It seems (as confirmed by Mini) that most build cabrio's are in Munich for last detail modifications.

Next week (pre) production will start and also cars will be build for the car exhibitions to come (Detroit/ and Brussels) (that info was on the wall).

Because of the production startup, guided tours are discontinued for a couple of months.

Thanks for that.

We've known about this for a while know, production tours will be seriously affected between October this year and March next year.
