Doing this is as lazy as getting rid of all contractions in an essay in order to squeeze past the word limit.
Brake lights in the bumper because top piece is moveable.

Hot take: every single thing Mini has done outside of the original early 2000s Cooper has been downhill brand dilution. It should have always existed as a single-model brand, maybe just sold inside BMW dealers.
I mean, it didn’t go south as badly/quickly as the Fiat 500 lineup, but still.

I’m not againts a brand evolving but sometimes they defy sense in the process. Perhaps specially to car folk who know the difference between a FWD and a RWD car; but BMW customers don’t have an understanding of it apparently, that’s why we have three FWD cars in their lineup.

Or what the old Clubman did and have a whole in the door, with the tailight actually fixed to the car, not the doors .

Surprised nobody’s bothered by the asymmetrical “CLUBMAN” on the back. I almost want to change the split to “CLU” and “BMAN” and see if I can cause any OCD seizures out there.
