We ordered a 2021 Clubman JCW, which is now at the Southampton Port waiting for a ship....hopefully not too much longer as it's been there two weeks.

I can not find (on the Mini USA site, here on the forums or googling) the specification for the total length of the Clubman with the Barn Doors open.
We have limited garage space and might need to do some re-arranging.
Does anyone know the overall length with the Barn Doors wide open.....or would someone kindly measure for me, please?

 

About 25 inches from the rearmost face of the rear bumper to the tip of the rubber locking nub on the fully-extended (opened) U.S. (left side facing forward) rear door. That locking nub extends a couple of inches beyond the actual door edge, so if that little nub is not an issue, call it 23 inches.

 

If you look very closely at the icon picture of my signature you will see an image of my 2020 All4 with the rear doors fully open. On the driver's side rear door there is a tiny protrusion on the rear edge which is the nub of which I speak.

 

Thank you, 2017All4
I'll add 25" to the 168.3" spec and see how much space (if any) we have to walk behind and get groceries out of the boot with the garage door closed....or if I need to move the utility shelves from in front of the car.

 

You're welcome. Have fun tracking your new MINI. Congratulations.

As an aside, the RIGHT (passenger side) door opens first and the left door can remain closed, so, depending on how you approach the rear of the car in your garage set up, it's a one door opens at a time situation, with the right first and then the left requiring separate activation to open. When you use the hands-free, swift kick foot motion to open the rear doors, the first foot move triggers the right, then a second foot move triggers the left.

And then of course there's the unintentional opening when the key fob is accidentally activated. We've all done it!

The Zen of Clubman rear door opening is complex and can lead to untold hours of enjoyment for purists.

 

Yeah, I thought I had the tracking methodology sorted. Had been checking the Wallenius Wilhelmsen schedules from Southampton to Port Hueneme, found two RoRo vessels scheduled to depart in first 2 weeks after the car's arrival at Southampton....and both left without our car. So it began to look iffy as to whether we'd even get it before xmas :(

But, surprisingly, this morning the My Mini site showed IN TRANSIT....so phoning Mini USA revealed it left a couple of days ago on the TALIA, which I'm saying is a 'mystery' ship since it didn't show up in any of my searches....and, why not call it a 'mystery' ship, since it was Halloween

Mini USA said it's ETA in So Cal is November 20, meaning it might just be here in time for my December 11 appointment for XPEL PPF at the best installer in the Denver area. That's also good news cause they're booked over 2 months in advance!

BTW, our spec is pretty loaded: Pepper White with Black roof and mirror caps, Iconic trim, Chesterfield leather indigo blue, Dynamic Damper, 8.8" Touchscreen Nav, Driver Assistance Package....Roof Rails because I think they look kewl .

This JCW will be joining the 2020 Cooper S 2-Dr Hardtop we got last year because my wife decided she 'needed' one....and our 2019 Audi TT will be leaving soon to make space for an all Mini garage.
