The MINI first takes shape in the body-in-white facility. Body panels and sub-assemblies come into the body shop just in time and just in sequence from the Swindon Plant. The different body models can be produced in any sequence.

First impressions count, especially when it comes to a car's colour. Our quality processes ensure the painted finish will protect each MINI from environmental influences and corrosion.

This is the final stage in the MINI's journey through Plant Oxford, where the car will be fully finished and sent to meet its new owner.

While MINI has already achieved many successes in terms of sustainable manufacturing, we know we’re still a long way from our destination. We’re committed to doing all we can to achieve our MINI sustainability goals in all areas, not just manufacturing. This environmentally conscious approach continues to drive us along our path to sustainable mobility. 

Parts of the Assembly Building at MINI Plant Oxford are over 100 years old and the roof spans over 82,000 square metres. To improve the efficiency of this building, works are currently taking place to insulate the roof and a new heating system is being installed. Combined, these measures will reduce energy costs by almost 50% while conserving an integral part of the Plant's long-standing history.

Our Body Shop has one of the largest roof-mounted solar farms installed in the UK. The photovoltaic system comprises of 11,500 solar panels, covering 20,000 square metres (an area equivalent to five football pitches!) and generates  the equivalent of the electricity consumption of over 930 households, and it reduces the annual carbon footprint by around 1,500 tonnes.

From 2017 on all Plant Oxford’s electricity came from renewable sources.

At MINI, we believe that people are at the heart of our success. The welfare, wellbeing, health, and performance of our employees, partners, suppliers, and the communities we serve are our top priorities.

We place a strong emphasis on our working environment at our plant, complemented by a range of company-wide health and wellbeing initiatives designed to support our team.

For years, we have proudly supported a variety of charities, as well as local projects in education, wildlife, arts, and culture, enriching both our local community and the wider region.

Currently, the Plant Oxford team are delighted to partner with the Teenage Cancer Trust, with our other BMW Group UK locations in a series of exciting fundraising events. Together, we’re making a difference!
