    Couldn't find a forum listing for the F56 Clubman.... But it could also be mis-identified.... Could be the F56 4-Door... However it does have the two doors in the rear.... So maybe the Clubman...

    Looks rather large....

    Being it has the barn doors and the spread exhaust tips I'd think it is the F54 Clubman,

    If I were waiting for a newer bodystyle to keep the boot of my Clubbie clean when driving in inclimate weather I think I'd be a bit disappointed!

    Massive front brakes, no sign of the bizzare lower bumper protrusion, vectoring all-wheel-drive (BMW xDrive), and proportional body compared to the front overhang.

    I like it so far as a potential small "family car" to replace our R55 Clubman. Time will tell.
