It has a much higher bitrate and therefore better quality than the downloadable version. It's close to 300Mb. The other video's I already found since I broke down the production flash into more readable webpages (click on my website link but this is a Bablfish translation since my websiote is in Dutch).</p> The production video was also on a Mini International issue CD (can’t remember wich one but will search if there is interest).

Just as an FYI…

At one point MINI introduced a new feature (on a test basis and only available to 555 MINIs worldwide) on the Owner’s Lounge where they would let you see pictures and a video of your very own MINI actually being built?

It was a super cool feature and my wife’s PW/B MCS just happened to be one of the few cars selected to have a video made of it durning production. I took a bunch of screen shots of the whole thing and posted them up on MINI2 for everyone to see. If you’d like to have a look, here’s the link:

Which is part of this main MINI2 thread:

Personalized MINI Production Video

Also, here’s a pointer back to the original Motoringfile article that mentioned this really cool feature:

See Your MINI As It’s Being Created

It’s a real shamethat MINI didn’t make this a reality for everyone. It was a very cool feature and it’s something that I think would have really added to the “MINI Ownership Experience”.
