Error on UK website for Clubman?

There's something odd in the configurator. I was poking around there out of curiosity and was surprised by how different the UK-spec Clubman is. Is there an error on the website? Unlike us, they get the chance to see a 360-view of the interior of their Clubman. The Club door is on the left! I thought the UK version has it on the same side. Also, they get a wheel option that isn't available except on S versions in the US! I don't get it.

There are a lot of differences.
Just a few i can thing of quickly

1. Flat rear floor - not standard, must be ordered.
2. Secret conpartment - Not standard, must order the storage package (package also includes the net in the passenger foot well, folding box, and another item i believe)
3. Rear Fog light - standard

There are many other differences as well just can't think of them right now.

The fog lights in England are law, if you brought over an American or German Spec car and wanted to register it there you had to get a rear fog light added. So, the rear fogs are included; kinda like the warning triangle and first aid kit being included in cars sold in Germany, including the American specs.
