R58 Rear window wiper
I absolutely wish I had one. Coming up on a year of Coupé ownership, I still habitually reach for the rear window wiper in the mornings, just to clear the condensation from the rear glass. It's effing humid here in FL.
At MOTD 10, I was sitting at dinner with some of the folks from MINI USA. Sorry, but I don't remember their names. We got to discussing the Coupé and my likes & dislikes. I remember asking one guy "Who was the genius who decided this car did not need a rear wiper?" He literally facepalmed right there at the dinner table, and said something along the lines of "I'm getting so tired of that question." Apparently, lots of folks would like a rear wiper.
At least if it was there, you'd have the option to use it or not at your discretion. And if you hated the look of it, you could always delete it. With no wiper there to begin with, those of us who want one couldn't possibly have one added for a price that would be anywhere near reasonable, since everything would have to be custom made.

+1 Definitely NO wiper for me. Would ruin the lines! Defrost works like a charm albeit a little slower than a wiper blade.
+2 but the OCD part of me that I didn't know I had til now is driven crazy (no pun intended!) by rain drops that I can't clear!
I went from an r53 with one wiper to a clubman with 2! And now none. Hard to adjust even months later!
