Apparently 4 Mini's were used for the scenes, the smashed one has been scrapped, 1 sold on ebay, 1 still for sale (see link below) and 1 is said to be a project.....

I assume it was artistically necessary to convey the message the director was trying to convey in this pivotal scene. And who are we to question the vision of a true artist?
