The words “BMW 2 Series Active Tourer” or, alternatively, “chassis code U06” may not feel very familiar to US buyers. Nor should they; the egg-shaped model only exists outside US borders. It debuted in 2014, and the second generation arrived in 2021, but insiders say that the model range is already planned to shrink by 2027.

BMW is all about customization, and recent patent filings from the German Patent and Trademark Office point to their continued focus. In a patent published on August 8th, 2024, BMW has patented an invention to allow drivers configurable exterior mirrors. The patent’s description starts by essentially describing an exterior mirror as we know it today. Lights inside the mirror allow an integrated turn signal element to illuminate as needed. It goes on to explain that “the disadvantage is that there is no individualization [of the] light signature emitted by the lamp.” We’re not sure how high that ranks on the scale of automotive first world problems, but it can’t be far off from “this car’s Wi-Fi is too slow” and “these heated seats are too warm.”

The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”
