BMW cheek over Mini; YourSay.ALTHOUGH it makes a good strap line for their advert, BMW's claim of '50 years of the Mini' is a bit of a cheek! The German version is bigger than a Mark 1 Escort, never mind the original Austin Mini, and the only real similarity is the position of the speedometer speedometer, instrument that indicates speed. A cable from an automotive speedometer is attached to the rear of the transmission of an automobile; the cable turns at a rate proportional to the speed of the car. . It remains one of the tragedies of the West Midlands, where production of this car was taken from the workers at Longbridge and all the profits sent to Munich instead.
