    Looks like a good place to sit while waiting for MINI roadside assistance. :lol:

    Why didn't I think of that? :mad2:

    I would have loved something like that on my allroad and XC70 crossovers.

    Picnic bench? No, but it reminds me a little of the tailgate on my Honda Element. The lower gate is shorter than the part that flips up, so you have something flat and sturdy to sit on without getting rained on...as much.

    But this looks more like something you'd put down before telling your dogs to load up in the back.

    Or, something you put down before anyone other than YOU loads stuff into or out of the cargo area. :incazzato:

    Looks like some BMW engineers had too much time on their hands. At least this thing is a bit more functional than the Openometer. :frown2:
