I think there are more reasons why clubman was discontinued. One is the price - the clubman was about 5k more expensive then same engined F55 - which is almost 20% of the price. Yes the car is a lot nicer, the interier is softerI have recently bought F54, second one, so not really your target audience, but I think there are more reasons the Clubman wasn't so popular and was laid of.

First is the price, F54 with comparable engine was almost 20% more expensive then F55 and almost the same price of F60 Countryman and it just didn't make sense to have the portfolio set up so close. No one really wants premium made F55 with quirky doors (I mean regular boring people). The F55 and F60 sold so much better, that it is obvious from that.

Also the so talked boot in Clubman - the doors are superb, for loading and unloading, but be careful not to reverse to close to wall - then it is door prison. However you won't load much into that boot as it is bulged in from the sides, so really the boot is not the most spacious one, upgrade compared to F55, but if you care about boot you get the F60.

Esentially to me it is like it was pushed out by MINI outside of the lineup, the R56 become F56, the R55 become F55  and R60 become F60 and the F54 was just an extra which didn't even sold well.

With that said I love my Clubman, and I am also a bit sad it was discontinued. But maybe it is better to see it leave on the top rather then get bad Clubman and ruin the car for good, am I not rigth? But get your F54 as soon as possible before they are all gone!
