What are those bumps on the Clubman's butt?
I am too far from a dealership to just go take a look, so: are those bumper-bumps license plate lights? Or what?

The bumps on the rear of a Non S Clubman are not the license plate lights. they are just decoration. If you order the chrome line package or the chrome mirror caps then these bumps get cover with chrome removable covers.
The license plate lights on both the S and Non S are above the plate.

Wow: a Sonic Terrestrial Disruptor! I can't wait to have that! And it's not even extra-cost!
Thanks, Schatzy62. I wondered if the rear bike rack holes could go there. Unfortunately, if those barn doors inadvertently popped open....

They're ugly...that's what they are
I can't wait to get them shaved off.

I am not sure there is even a Rear Bike Rack for the Clubman. I know they have one for the coop but the brackets for that will not fit the clubman.
There are two types of trailer hitches though for a clubman.
one from Mini Do More.
http://www.minidomore.com
and one from MiniFini.
http://www.minifini.com
Both of which can accept bike racks. The Mini Do More easily take after market racks and the MiniFini one has ins own accessories.

Remarkably, those bumps on the rear look strangley similar to the one's on the FRONT of a Jeep Liberty.....

Heh heh... Actually, the bumps are to detract attention from the clumsy US plate proportions, unlike the pleasing long, thin euro plates.
