You can certainly do that, but you'll need to run a circuit to the vehicle's positive battery terminal to provide power for the trailer brakes.
In addition to the Curt # C51180 Echo Wireless Brake Controller, I'd recommend using the # ETBC7L 4-Pole Upgrade Kit which includes a 4-pole to 7-way adapter, as well as all the wire, hardware and the circuit breaker needed to make that connection at the battery.

When it comes to installing a tow package on your 2013 Mini Cooper The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 1-1/4 inch # EH47FR does not come with a ball mount.

This ball mount is class 1 and class 2 compatible, and has a gross towing weight up to 2,000 pounds and has a tongue weight up to 200 pounds. With this drawbar you will need... view full answer...
Since you have a 2011 Mini Cooper Convertible S model you can use Roadmaster base plates # 521879-1A. They are compatible with Quick Disconnects (found on some Roadmaster tow bars) and all Roadmaster tow bars. Base plates # 521880-1 do not fit the design of the Convertible S models.
In addition to the tow bar you have and the base plates you will also need safety cables (unless you already have some), lighting, and supplemental braking. for safety cables I recommend # RM-643. The coiled... view full answer...

That's a good question but a wiring converter is not needed to install the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 on your 2015 Mini Cooper.

Step 1 when considering flat towing any vehicle is confirming in the owner's manual that it can be flat towed and any steps required to make it ready for this procedure. The Mini with manual transmission is the preferred version for towing but the automatic transmission models can be towed so long as they have the Steptronic feature. I suggest checking your owner's manual; the information I found was contained in an online edition on pages 147-148.
Flat towing requires a few components... view full answer...

Although there is an option for a trailer hitch receiver lock for a 2-1/2" trailer hitch that you can get keyed alike, the Blue Ox Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # BX88212 is not one that you can get keyed alike.

The wheels that are currently on your tires are 3-3/4 inches wide, but the width of the actual tire (section width) will be greater. The section width of your 4.80/4.00-8 tires is 4.6 inches.
Moving up to a 6 inch wide, 10 inch diameter wheel like the Kenda 205/65-10 Tire and Wheel Combo 4 on 4 Bolt Pattern, # AM3H460, will have a section width of 8.07 inches. This will bring the tire approximately 1-3/4 inches closer to the trailer frame leaving a 1-3/4 inch gap. This will be plenty... view full answer...
