MUNICH, Germany -- BMW Group will build a convertible version of its popular Mini car.

The company ran its factory in England at full capacity last year, building about 160,000 of the cars. It plans to increase production by around 10 percent in the next few years, according to Reuters.

CEO Helmut Panke says the new four-seat model would probably be on the market by the middle of next year.
