Green Car Reports indicates,
MINI E pioneers - the name that BMW have given to the few hundred of us who leased MINI Es - are both sad and happy. It's sad to see the end of the program that delivered us one of the most fun-to-drive cars we've ever used, but we're happy that its replacement will be here soon.
That car, the BMW ActiveE, promises even more refinement, even better driving dynamics and… this is a big one… four seats. Hurray!
MINI-E drivers held a "Goodbye Meetup" last weekend. So, whats the disposition of all those MINIE's?
Some will head to museums, and some will head back to Germany for further lab testing, but the rest will go the way of all automotive experiments: They'll be dismantled and crushed. That relieves BMW of the need to provide service, support, and spare parts for years to come.
