The folks at BMW are a bunch of clowns!

Yes, every cooper is a clown car. So, BMW makes the clown car, made the clown shoe, and I just noticed after how many months that they still make the clown nose.

When we decided to try an EV my wife said if we are going to buy a clown car, we have to make it look like a clown car. That is why there are stripes on the hood.

Most of the BMWs I've owned have/had the clown nose on the bottom of the mirror (see picture). About ten years ago BMW got rid of the clown nose, and replaced it with a smaller light on the bottom of the rear view mirror.

My question to the interwebz experts here is, was it the engineers or marketing folks that decided a clown is not a clown without a clown nose, hence our clown cars still have the clown nose?

OK, maybe it isn't a clown car. Nah!

Was this post in honor of 4/20?
No, it was a tongue in way of pointing out that Mini gets hand me down BMW technology from the motor to the rear view mirror. Assuming you can call a clown nose technology.

I pretty much quit representing "that" industry a few years ago.
 
The clown shoe was available in M and standard trim. I had the M Roadster for a while when shoes cost less. Stoopid me bought the wrong one.

The M Roadster had a clown nose.
