AWESOME or RIDICULOUS: Would You Buy A MINI By Rolls-Royce?

BMW is set to give the green light to ultra-luxury version of the Mini which will be trimmed at the Rolls-Royce factory in Goodwood.

Highly placed sources at BMW have told Autocar that the cars will "totally individual" and the project is seeking to create "niche vehicles" for customers.

It's likely that the options will extend beyond trim materials and could see buyers encouraged to commission genuine coachbuilt features such as new interior fittings....

Ok just to clear things up a little bit: This won't be a Mini-based RR, which would be ridiculous.

BMW will extend its "individual" program to Mini buyers.

They will used RR installations since they are already well equipped to do that kind of coachbuilding stuff.
