If you are considering getting them later and doing the install yourself, I would say don't. Get them from the factory. The glue on the sills is incredibly hard to remove. I put my knee on my passenger side while wiring a radar detector and it dented the sill. They are paper thin. Make sure no one steps on them. I replaced it, spending 2+ hours with acetone and paint thinner getting the old glue off. No adhesive remover I tried could do it.

I got them (for my MCS, not a Clubman) and they look very sly, but were a tad spendy. I second the recommendation to having the dealer do them. They seem like something that you'd like to have under warranty.
