The entire rear door/window is off. Look at the belt line, look at the door handle and the window is clearly a clone of the window further back, the B pillar glass has a ton of black that would obscure the view from the back.

There's also the fact that mini is still driving around in F56 mules fully camo'ed so it's unlikely they would let out a pic of a model that isn't even announced. It's someone's mockup, and not a very good one

It's really not bad at all. Some people feel like they are king of the internets by calling all PS jobs bad.

I know its Photoshop because we can see the pixels!

You know, I almost said that just for a laugh because I'm really not "that guy" and I apologize for coming across that way. I do wish that when people post pictures of concept art like this they post the source along with it, it makes it easier for people to distinguish when something is an official concept drawing or just something made up by "the Internet". .

Kudos for setting the record straight. Damn internet, always losing folks sarcasm in the tubes.

Well some of you took the fun out of posting any pics, since all you do is tear it apart whether it is a concept or not. Why not just enjoy the pics?

That's an interesting one, very Countryman looking in a Cooper size. Sorry if I took the fun out of posting pics, again that wasn't my intention.

Very interesting -- a 4-door go-kart! Is this a concept, or rumored for production? And if it is coming, is it going to replace the Clubbie?

That's so dumb IMO. They're are trying to hard to make it similar to the Volkswagen GTI five door.
