Question abut bump starts

Saw the outrageously funny movie "The Gods must be crazy." There was a classic scene where the poor guy's Land Rover keeps having all kinds of problems. In one scene, he bump started it. That got me thinking. My Clubbie has the remote key and a 6-speed manual.

Can you bump start a 2009+ MINI? On another forum, a Mazda owner mentioned that his car was rigged with some cutoff device that he couldn't override so he can't bump start his car.

Instructions for tow-starting are in the manual.
