    “This is truly a celebration of Big Love among our MINI family,” said one organizer, underscoring the strong sense of community that MINI enthusiasts share.

    The festivities began on 26 October with a special dinner to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the MINI Pattern Group. The night celebrated the club’s decade-long journey, fostering friendships and promoting the joy of MINI ownership across Malaysia.

    The following day, the venue transformed into a vibrant festival ground as MINIacs flooded the open car park with their signature MINI models, creating a spectacle of colors and styles.

    An exciting collaboration with Millennium Welt brought an added thrill to the event: attendees could test drive the latest MINI Electric lineup, including the MINI Cooper 3-Door, MINI Countryman, and the new MINI Aceman.

    "Getting behind the wheel of these new electrified MINIs really highlighted that go-kart feel MINI is famous for," remarked one participant after taking a spin.

    Other activities included competitions for “Best Modern MINI” and “Best Classic MINI,” and a creative “Best Rocker Cover” contest where participants displayed custom-transformed engine oil covers turned into MINI car models.

    Malaysia MINI Day 2024 marked a memorable milestone for MINI Pattern Group, promising an even brighter future for MINI’s growing presence and the passionate community behind it.
