Strategic golf club placement
With both rear seats folded down, your
MINI can accommodate four golf bags
comfortably. Unfortunately, this leaves
no room to accommodate a foursome.
Recommended: with one rear seat folded
down, fit one to two bags lying angled
diagonally, and one to two golf buddies
seated vertically.
How to fit a bike:
1. Adjust passenger's side seat to furthest
forward non-reclining position.
2. Remove front wheel. Of BICYCLE!
3. Lay the bike on the side opposite the
rear derailleur rotating the handlebars
counterclockwise until they are
parallel with the cargo area floor.
4. Place front wheel in cargo area and
close hatch.
