As per sources, India was fated to have BMW Mini series in the country back in 2009 but following meek market conditions, the German auto maker had to table the BMW Mini launch in India. However, preparation for the launch and the enthusiasm for the stunningly beautiful little looking cars began then. The recent appearance of BMW Mini Cooper cars in Players movie also stepped up the anticipation and people especially the young were anxious to see the cars in India. As per sources, the company made an analysis and found India ready for another global brand when India is going the global way extensively. Yet, it is better late than never for India and BMW will surely be bringing in many accolades with the launch of the BMW Mini cars in India and is supposed to lead the premium hatchback cars in the country. However, the BMW Mini price will be a big factor and sources say that BMW has no plans in the near future to assemble these cars in India and these cars will be imported as completely built up units.
In the beginning, BMW will be pitching its sales tents in Delhi and Mumbai and later on the BMW Mini exclusive showroom will also be opened in other major cities of the nation.
