Hi. Does anyone know of any books about the new BMW mini, you know, stuff like history of development, from design to production? So far the only thing I have found is a book, still in the writing phase, on Amazon. see link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/tg/stores/detail/-/books/1859608744/reviews/202-2719494-4403052
Sad I know, but I'm the sort of guy that want's that extra bit of info.

I've been wondering about a MINI book, too. Of course there are tons of books on the classic Mini, but that's to be expected because historically it was such a significant car and it was production for 41 years.
As for the new MINI, the author of the book you cited on Amazon is probably waiting to get more Cooper S info before going to press.
It wouldn't do to create a book and ignore the flagship of the line, would it?
And I guess part of the story will read like a soap opera concerning clash of cultures and the eventual breakup of the marriage between Rover and BMW. Should be very interesting if well done.
