MINI Yours Customised

-

Since 2001 MINI has been a pioneer in the area of vehicle personalis­ation by offering customers choice from a huge range of style, comfort, convenienc­e and technology options, enabling them to create a car which truly reflects their personalit­y and lifestyle.

In 2018 MINI will take this concept to a new level with the launch of MINI Yours Customised.

Using a new online store, customers will be able to transform their MINI into a uniquely personalis­ed special by designing their own exclusive items.

The MINI Yours Customised product range will include the indicator inlays known as side scuttles, trims for the interior passenger side, LED door sills and LED door projectors.

The new MINI Yours Customised product range reaffirms the brand’s position as a pioneer in offering new options, digital services and the establishm­ent of innovative production processes. Individual­isation has always been highly valued by the worldwide MINI community as evident by the exceptiona­lly large and diverse range of existing special equipment and original MINI accessorie­s.

MINI is committed to digitalisa­tion and innovative production methods for creating new personalis­ed products. Alongside the new web store, a completely new distributi­on chain has been created for direct sales of MINI Yours Customised products to customers. The 3D printing procedure has also been specially tailored to the production of highly individual products in large numbers.

The integrated, user-friendly and flexible webbased ‘Customiser’ is the innovative centrepiec­e of the new online store. Customers will create their designs, place an order and their original creation will be directly transferre­d in digital form to the appropriat­e production facility. All MINI Yours Customised products will be produced in Germany.

The 3D printers used in this new process have been precisely configured by BMW Group and a strategic partnershi­ps with Hewlett-Packard Inc., Carbon Inc. and EOS GmbH. All MINI Yours Customised products conform to the same high form, functional­ity and safety standards as the factory supplied components in the original MINI accessorie­s range.

The rims for the side indicator inlays known as side scuttles are 3D printed and then painted in a colour shade selected by the customer.
