Historic flashback to celebrate the 100th Annual General Meeting of the BMW Group. Since its establishment more than 100 years ago, the company has always generated new impetus from overcoming particularly difficult situations. Innovative strength and courage, determination and team spirit form the foundation for this innate spirit of renewal.

BMW Group Classic is celebrating the 60th anniversary of the MINI brand with a film screening and a presence styled in the period of the International Motor Show 1959 in the halls of the “March Motor Works” – Maria Costello and Troy Corser will line up at the start of the race for the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy.
The original in the premium segment of small cars has reached its 60th birthday – but it is even younger than ever. It was sixty years ago, to be precise on 26 August 1959, that British Motor Corporation (BMC) proudly revealed the result of their development activities in creating a new, revolutionary compact car.
Courage, independence, competing with the best while forging new pathways – these have been the characteristics of the BMW Group since 7 March 1916. Today, BMW Group Classic is looking back on a series of events, record achievements and innovations, from the altitude world record in 1919, through the debut of the Mini 60 years ago, to the invention of the modern SUV with the X5 in 1999 – many others will follow in the course of 2019.
Apprentices at the BMW plant in Lower Bavaria handed over the recently restored special to the vehicle collection at BMW Group Classic.
