FRANKFURT, Aug 3 (Reuters) - BMW Chief Executive Harald Krueger said the German carmaker chose to build an electric version of its Mini without receiving any assurances or incentives from British authorities.

"There were no concessions from authorities," Krueger said in a call with journalists to discuss second-quarter results on Thursday. (Reporting by Edward Taylor; Editing by Maria Sheahan)
