I don't understand that door arrangement, other than it looks like it hasn't been designed for RHD markets.

Same with the suicide door on the right hand side of the Clubman. On countries where they drive on the left it ejects rear passengers into the traffic. Who drives on the left? UK, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, India, Japan... half the world.

it said really, i mean BMW was never edgy with their designs, but they have always been consistent with efficiency and functionality. They might have carried this theme into this design but the grill... i mean it screams infinity fx wrapped in a mini package....i think we will see this trend over and over repeating the success of previous formulas with different automakers in the near future given today's shady market conditions

hmmm one word:
ugly
i found the clubman a cool and kwirky idea but they have just screwed this one up

Why do you need a car like this? , BMW should invent something original , it looks like it belongs in toys r us.

Oh my god i just sicked up a little! Hasn't BMW destroyed the mini name enough already, this is without a doubt the worst incarnation yet. My question is when will people stop buying this overpriced garbage just because it's trendy?

However, I have to admit the tailgate is a clever idea and much nicer looking than the one on the Clubman.

Should be called the 'Maxi' not 'mini'. They are getting bigger these days.

... the side angle reminds me of a shoe hehe.
Nah, I stick with the cooper. I don't like the clubman much, either.

this is not MINI anymore. British Leyland had a Austin Maxi and BMW seems to be going that way. Please bring a Mini again.

FFS...not another waste of metal and plastic... the Clubman is not selling and has horrific residuals, not to mention being a complete crock of shit. So why bring out something equally hideous, pointless and unlikely to sell in any kind of volume.
The Clubman has limited space, crap visibility, poor design including the suicide door on the 'wrong side', no point in a rear view mirror and boot space that is really not much of an improvement over the standard hatch.
rant over. that is all.

Looks great! I love the roof and the side view. Seats four adults comfortable, probably gets good gas mileage, will certainly handle well. What's not to like?

the cost
the fact it is a cynical profit making car
the fact that it looks german
the fact that IT IS GERMAN and NOT English
but BMW couldn't win with the mini. if they made the clubman where it is cheap like the fiat 500 in poland no-one would buy it because it would look german and be polish and not english. if they engineered the doors so they were the right way around for the RHD markets they would not make a profit either

the stupid thing is that by about 2003 2004 they should have had 2 or 3 variants like the mini van mini moke mini marcos
but now they are getting desperate. they could make money out of it if it was properly retro and if they didn't try to reinvent history.
stop trying to reinvent the past.
The clubman is like well 'that's a good name - why don't we make the car completely different and reinvent the car and end up with something completely different which no-one will buy because it doesn't look like the real thing'
what was wrong with a mini moke?
