What I DO hate are the underpinnings. It is such a shame that BMW decided to rebadge a MINI Cooper rather than engineering a proper AWD BMW like this thing should have been. I'm sure they'll fool a lot of people and sell boat loads of them, and it's unfortunate that's all BMW cares about with the X2. It's basically BMW's version of high fructose corn syrup.
Just stop it with the "rebadge" nonsense. Of course the UKL platform was always meant for both BMW and Mini.

More nonsense. The BMW F20 had that shape of rearview mirror long before the Mini got it.
