*Note: It's not actually a rubber widget, but it's bigger than a grommet

"Planned annual maintenance periods at BMW Group production sites allow essential updating and equipment replacement to be completed over several weeks, while there is no production taking place.

"As a responsible organisation, we have scheduled next year's annual maintenance period at MINI Plant Oxford to start on 1 April, when the UK exits the EU, to minimise the risk of any possible short-term parts-supply disruption in the event of a no-deal Brexit.

"While we believe this worst case scenario is an unlikely outcome, we have to plan for it.
