Press Release Body: Pleasanton, CA<10/10/2008>: MINI Cooper has won fourth position
among 10 vehicles rated by Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards for 2008. This
is the sixth consecutive year this model has figured in this list.

These awards are given to assess car manufacturers' abilities to produce vehicles
that retain their value over time. These awards are presented in three categories:
vehicles that rank top among Kelley Blue Book's 11 vehicle categories; Overall Top
10 vehicles across all categories and the model with the best projected resale value
across its entire line of vehicles.

About the MINI Cooper, Kelley says: "It combines excellent handling and charming
looks with a remarkable level of options available from the factory. Drivers who
crave uniqueness will love the ability to tailor their MINIs to match their tastes."


One of this model's features that came in for high praise is its standard Sport
Button. This button increases steering effort by speeding up shifts in its
transmission. This it does by quickening throttle response. In Kelley's words, this
Sport Button is such a likeable features that this makes the car "easy and livable
during daily drives, yet with all the sporting flair you'd want available at the
touch of a button".
