Those are where those little twistable winding keys go to make the car go faster.

I have no idea.

They shoot oil out the back when you're being chased

Either that or it's a MINI-Fini tow hitch

I think those are for the mini fini attachments. IE tow hitch, tire carrier etc.

Probably PDC

parking distance control (PDC) sensors. On my 2010 with PDC they are mounted lower on the bumper but in the same general position measured side to side relative to the center exhaust.
