Watch BMW & MINI Destroy its Cars
Before tears are shed, most if not all of the cars in the video are likely engineering or marketing vehicles that BMW cannot legally sell. Therefore the process of destroying them is one of necessity. That said it’s still pretty tough to watch.
<p>Wow. That is crazy.</p>
<p>Does it cost more to build one, or destroy one?</p>
<p>I’d say owning one!</p>
<p>There’s no question about that, since we owners pay for the building AND the destroying!</p>
<p>Actually, I was referring to the fixing of all the known defects of a MINI.</p>
<p>I have owned a 2007 Cooper S hardtop (which MINI bought back from me when they could not fix an extreme-cold turbo icing problem, a 2009 Clubman (which we still have, with zero problems thus far), a 2011 Cooper S hardtop (a super car that I would still own if I was still able to operate a manual shift), and a 2016 Cooper S hardtop which has been my ride since October 2015, with zero problems. So, except for purchase and normal operating cost, I have experienced no cost of fixing known problems. Unless gasoline is a known problem ;)</p>
<p>We’re already watching BMW destroy Mini.</p>
<p>/s</p>
<p>Is that a pre-production F55 at the 19:56 mark? The dash looks like a bmw…</p>
