 Yes they did... and they kept the MINI when they sold off Rover...

The car, designed by Frank Stephenson, is marketed as a "retro" redesign of the original Mini, which was manufactured by the British Motor Corporation and its successors from 1959 to 2000. The name is written in capital letters to distinguish it from its predecessor. It is sometimes called 'The BMW MINI' or 'The New MINI'.

Wasn't the "MINI" one of the cars/brands that BMW picked up when they bought Rover?

Congtrats on the MINI!  No doubt you'll both enjoy zipping around in it.  It's a blast to drive - especially the Cooper S with a manual transmision!!!

 Thanks, this one does have the manual transmission...  I doubt she'll let me do any of the zipping though; but I'll settle for putting the top down on my convertible... ;)

 Does this mean the little SUV (Santa Fe, I believe) is a "goner"!

 Here is my daily driver. 1981 Jeep CJ-7. These pics are a couple months old. I have changed the front bumper and put the winch back on it.

 Well.... I'm really not driving this one anymore.  (It's actually a BMW E28... the 2002i tag is a BMW joke.) We played bumper pool with the guard rails on the freeway on the way to work.  Alas... but I still have an E23, an E24 (my current pride and joy) and an E30.  I just dumped my 78 Jaguar XJ-S... I got tired of buying boats for my mechanics.

 I am also a Ducatista (but I'm more of an Alfista). I ride a Monster 800 i.e. - very often too, go to work with it from April until November (I'm in Toronto, Canada). If this global warming thing works out, I'll be able to extend that period for motorcycle commuting even further. But, alas, I'm a skeptic, so I keep a fun car also, a red Alfa Romeo 164S. Just in case the alarmists are right I also have a Bianchi racing bicycle and a Fuji commuter that costs less than the next watch I plan to buy.
