A couple of years after I got my 2007 MINI Cooper S I went on a business trip to Denmark and on the way back to the states I stopped in England for a few days for the sole purpose of an Oxford plant tour. Definitely a highlight of the trip. It was just me and a couple from Germany so the tour guide was able to show us a little more and take us a little closer to the action. Very cool fellow and enjoyed every minute of seeing how our MINIs are made.
Glad you stopped at Oxford plant tour. The times i have been i see something different everytime. Definitely worth a visit for a MINI owner or non car people as it gives you so much insight.
My 2022 2 Door Hardtop S was built here. ❤ It is now happily living in New York. Beautiful factory.
Glad your enjoying your MINI
Fascinating to watch. My 2023 Clubman is in the paint booth as of today. Nice to see all of the TLC that the staff give when assembling these vehicles.
It’s always a great experience doing the factory tour and seeing them made
Can’t wait for my first Mini Cooper!!!
Let us know when it arrives
7年的mini车主、第一次观看生产线👍
Glad you enjoyed it
I’m claiming my first mini and I know I’m going to Love ❤️ It
My favourite car has always been the Mini❤️😍it’s fascinating to watch them being made on the production line😃👍🏻🚗💨❤️❤️❤️
This is all kinds of AWESOME “
It's every better in person when you go on a factory tour
my dream.....country man..hybrid
Amazing! QC at its best!
Great video!
Thank you for sharing!
Glad you like it
I ordered a 2023 2 door hardtop S. Next day salesman called to tell me my car is being made as we speak. He also said in a few days I would git the VIN #. Haven’t heard and now I think my sales order was a lowball figure. The sales agreement is useless without the VIN or sales manager signature.
Not sure about that. Hopefully you will have your VIN number soon
Liquid yellow paint the best ever for mini
Its a great colour
Real cool video, my son enjoyed it also. Production just begun for my 2022 Mini Cooper Countryman all4, enjoyed my 2020. Going from grey & black to red w/ black top & stripes.
Glad you enjoyed it with your son. Hope your next MINI brings you more joy and memories
Until six minutes in, I was saddened that there were no humans involved. It's both amazing and frightening to see so many robots taking jobs away from people. Regardless, it was a wonderful look into how our beloved Mini is built. Cheers.
A lot of the process is now machined done to avoid margins of error and make it quicker. Only high-end cars have more human build process. Glad you enjoyed the video
There are plenty of people that work in paint and assembly.
Most of the robots are in BIW
To have robot automation in plants, they definitely have more skilled workers for all the monitoring, changes and maintainence. The automation gives new job opportunity as robot services, schedule maintainence, Network control, and lots of new sort more high skill workers. Thats good for the country.
Well it makes you wonder in the future if no humans are required to make anything whose going to have the money to buy there products
When I first started at plant Oxford in Body in white I was on the finish line. I believe there were around 75 people. Co2 welding, panel setting, gas welding, hanging tailgates and the other outer surface panels across 3 finish tracks . There are now 6 people on one track. It's really hard to see people get moved to other areas or building when you've worked together for a while but it's also really interesting to see how robots have made the jobs much more precise with less and less mistakes.
❤
Glad you enjoyed the video of the MINI being made
Very nice! I am on my second mini and love it! Just got this second one like 3 months ago.
What was your 1st mini and what you upgraded to?
At 13:10, you can hear Hotel California by the Eagles in the background!
Never noticed that
Yeah mate
I heard three or four different songs
Man, I wish I could work here.
Nothing stopping you for applying
Fascinating tour - thank you! Got any footage of the SE electric part of the build process? I understand they are built alongside the gas versions? We’re about a month into owning one and are just loving it.
Yes they are made alongside the existing combustion MINI. Glad your enjoying the EV life. Here is link to how the Electric MINI is made th-cam.com/video/BQZh_WmXKBw/w-d-xo.html
@@Jcwadventures thanks - just found it! 👍
Just after watching a documentary about Henry Ford, I'd say he would get a kick out of watching this video.
He definite would

Hey there. Is this all new footage from the last couple of months? My mini might be in that!
The video is about two years old now so it was shot in 2019. Congrats on your new MINI. Whats the spec?
@@Jcwadventures Ah ok no worries, to be fair a lot of the footage I've not seen before so it was good to have a peek at more info on them building the cars. My specs are:
JCW
Mignight black metallic
Red roof and mirrors
18inch JCW alloys
Sports auto box
Comfort Pro, Nav pro,
Matrix LED lights
Intelligent adaptive suspension
Heated steering wheel
Heated windscreen
Darkened rear glass
JCW Bonnet stripes (naturally)
@@Jimothy667 Nice spec. If you ever get the chance it’s worth visiting the factory in Oxford as it’s great thing seeing how they are made in person
At which step in the process do they remove the quality and reliability?
😂😂
You did not show the secret classified how to put the engine in that thing....
Sadly no footage of that at the amount. If I get some I will post it as I have been on the factory tour about 8 times now
@@Jcwadventures Roger that sir.
Curious how many chemical dips the body goes through for rust prevention...
I think it's 3 to 4 dips of different chemicals then you got paint on top
I like the consistency of how robots put the Minis together, but I don't like that it takes jobs from people.
As automated as they are, they are still built and maintained by humans, which was a job that didn't exist before.
Robots are there to make workers like easier without any major stress on them
all this technology & they can’t build Mini’s with the correct door alignment 👀🤦♂️🤣
The amount I have seen for warranty claims is HUGEEEE
The robots were doing a great job, the humans not so much, they looked uninterested in what they were doing. Why are they all wearing different clothing, does Mini not provide them with official work clothing? It looks very unprofessional, and you don't hear music blasting out in a German or Japanese car factory, it's very distracting. The guy checking the panel gaps by eye was a highlight though.
I don't think this was filmed on the same point of timeframe. Official clothing is provided but I think this varies role to role
I've worked at Plant Oxford since 2002 and we do have uniforms now. The orange at the point of the video was for the Lead Associate who runs the areas (my role) the few people you saw feeling the body over are actually like that in person lol
Our uniforms all have our names on so even strangers can feel at home as they already know our names before we've opened our mouths
@@danearp Thanks for that information and watching the video
Bye bye production workers
Who knows as this has always been the case with every manufacturing process
I’d still have my classic mini over a glorified bmw mini 🤮 any day
Each to their own
No Black Workers. 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Really??? First part of the video is all robots then people work on the MINIs - 9:22 onwards
Your point being?????
They were too busy peacefully protesting that day
Pretty Girl
