Don't be fooled, its more BMW engineered and built junk. At least with those old Minis, if it broke you could mend it with a screwdriver, a pair of pliers, a socket set, and a big hammer. The new ones are pretty dubious to me in terms of reliability and cost of ownership, one is rather low and the other is shockingly high.
I'm not too high on Mini's either. I just like the unique touches. Sort of how the Jeep Renegade took inspiration from the Army Jerry Cans on the back of old ******.

Is that what they are? I always thought the taillight was really a big Phillips head holding on the rear of the car.
Look at that Gasoline Jerry-Can (thats what the military used to call them) sitting exposed, right on the rear end. And Ford got fined for where they put the Pinto's gas tank LOL.
Considering it's a German vehicle underneath, it is an attempt to get some patriotic spirit going among fans of the Mini's distant roots. But boy, imagine if an American manufacturer plastered the Stars and Stripes on the roof of a, say Dodge Challenger or a Chevy Camaro. Or if the Germans actually plastered the tri-color on the roof of a M3. Cheesy bit of marketing.
