Why is there no information about the latest MINI event: LETSMINI in Hildesheim, Germany??

We’d love to cover it but we never received any reader reports about the event as we did previously.

At the IMM (another big event not covered on here, btw, it is, afterall, mainly a US site :)), talk was still about Mini United to take place at the factory at Cowley/Oxford. Glad a good tradition is being revived :)

Can we expect a special edition MINI for the 50th? Seems likely, given BMW’s plethora of special editions for the MINI….

Yes. We’ve either reported on that here or on Whiteroofradio – I can’t remember which.
