Another carmaker slams the brakes on prospects for its UK workers if Britain leaves the EU without a deal.

BMW has stepped up its warnings over a no-deal Brexit, telling Sky News that production of the Mini in Oxford may be at risk.

Peter Schwarzenbauer, the German car giant’s board member responsible for Mini and Rolls Royce cars, said the firm would “need to consider” moving production from the UK as the company could not absorb the extra costs they would inevitably face.

He also told the Reuters news agency at the Geneva car show that some engine manufacturing, at Hams Hall in Birmingham, could be lost to Austria.
