Episode 90: MINI’s Sales Shake-Up, ICE Lives On, and Parking Like a Pro
from The Cooper Cast Podcast · host Dale Blankenship
In this week’s episode of The Cooper Cast, host Dale Blankenship and trusty sidekick Producer Kodi Monster dig into some big shifts that could shape MINI’s future. First, BMW has announced a brand-new direct sales model rolling out in Europe for 2027 — will MINI follow suit, and could this model eventually cross the pond to the U.S.? Then we turn to the European Union, which has quietly relaxed its strict EV mandates, meaning the internal combustion engine (ICE) will be sticking around longer than many expected. What does that mean for MINI and for you as an owner? And to wrap things up, we share a clever parking method that might just make you an expert parker — or at least keep your bumper intact.Motor safely, and don’t forget to wave! 👋🚘BMW's new sales modelhttps://www.press.bmwgroup.com/global/article/detail/T0437788EN/bmw-group-to-launch-direct-sales-model-across-europe-starting-from-1-january-2024-with-mini-in-three-countriesEU lessens EV Mandateshttps://www.archyde.com/eu-2035-ev-target-rollback-on-the-horizon/#google_vignette
