For a roof bike rack for your 2023 Mini Cooper S Coupe I recommend the Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack # TH598004. This is a frame-mount carrier that features an easy-to-load design. The padded clamp holds your bike by the downtube and also has a torque-limiting dial to prevent any damage to the frame.
The bike rack fits 18" - 36" crossbar spreads so you will need to make sure that matches what you have on your vehicle. The minimum wheel diameter is 20" with a maximum diameter of 29".... view full answer...
The Thule OutWay # TH45JV, is not recommended for use on your 2011 Mini Cooper Countryman because the vehicle is unable to support the weight of the bike rack.
At this time we do not have an option for carrying bikes at the rear of the 2011 Mini Cooper Countryman.
If your Countryman has factory installed crossbars, you can use the Thule UpRide bike rack, # TH599000, to carry bikes on the roof of your vehicle.
If your vehicle has factory flush side rails and no crossbars, you will need... view full answer...
For a trunk mounted bike rack that has been confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Mini Cooper that has a spoiler the Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2-3 would be your best option. This rack is specifically designed to fit your body style of vehicle with spoiler and not touch it at all.
Check out the review video I attached for this rack that shows how it installs.

At present there is only one option available for the 2007 Mini Cooper Hardtop S Model, the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit, # 521877-1; this is confirmed to fit your vehicle. For a tow bar, I suggest the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar, # RM-520. This hitch-mounted tow bar has stainless steel, telescoping arms that automatically lock into place. Its large hookup radius allows you to connect without perfectly lining up your vehicle. Easily folds up to store on your RV.
You will need safety cables,... view full answer...
The trunk mounted bike rack I recommend for your 2019 Mini Cooper is the Yakima FullBack part # Y02634 because this rack has a wide pad where the rack rests on the vehicle which helps spread the weight of the bikes and rack out, the rack is lightweight, is easily adjustable, and comes with locks for the bikes to the rack and the rack to the vehicle.

I recommend using the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-6 for your bike rack. This adapter will lower your tow bars by 2" which you will want to ensure still give you the +/- 3" height needed for the tow bars to safely operate. The other 2" receiver is raised 6" for the bike carrier. This lift will ensure that your tow bars have clearance from the bike rack or bikes depending on your carrier. The adapter is rated for a maximum tongue weight of 400lbs which you will be well... view full answer...
If you're planning on flat towing your 2015 Mini Cooper S Convertible you'll need a tow bar, tow bar wiring kit, base plate, breaking system, and safety cables. I have the following recommendations for you below:
Tow Bar: Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000lbs Item # RM-525. This tow bar has a large hookup radius makes connecting a breeze at any angle, even if your vehicle isn't perfectly lined up with your RV.

The first thing you need to flat tow your 2019 Mini Countryman is the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX1312 that you referenced which fits the manual transmission models.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. One of the most popular compatible tow bars is the Blue Ox Avail # BX7420 which comes with safety cables. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.

The Brakemaster like the part # RM-9160 is designed for air or air over hydraulic tow vehicle braking systems. Your engine brake would not be the only type of brakes that you have so based on the info you gave it's hard to say which Brakemaster you would need.
The part # RM-9060 is for tow vehicles with hydraulic brake systems instead.
Another easier to install option is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR. This system uses an inertia sensor to apply the same amount of braking power to the... view full answer...
For a trunk mount bike carrier for your 2005 Mini Cooper convertible you have a few options. For a 2-bike carrier you could use the Expedition # HRF6-2 or the Over-the-Top # HRF2. For three bikes you could use the Over-the-Top 3, # HRF2-3.
Since the Over-the-Top carriers are designed primarily to reach over spoilers, I would go with one of the Expedition carriers for your Mini Cooper.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a... view full answer...
It's our understanding as well that basically any manual transmission vehicle is safe to be flat towed but there are some Mazda manual transmission vehicles that cannot be flat towed so it would be important for you to confirm this with a Mini dealer but that said we do have all the parts needed to flat tow your 2021 Mini Cooper with the # RM-521882-5 as a base plate kit.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental... view full answer...
If your Mini Cooper S model is a convertible we have the base plate kit part # BX1307 that is a fit but if you have a hardtop S model we do not have a Blue Ox base plate that fits although we have a Roadmaster part # 521877-1 which you could use with a Blue Ox base plate kit if you had the correct adapter # RM-032 and you'd be set. view full answer...
In order to use a Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar like the Falcon 2 part # RM-520 on a 2003 Mini Cooper you'll need the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit part # 521876-1. The Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit will also fit a 2002 - 2006 Mini Cooper and a 2007 - 2008 Mini Cooper Convertible. I have attached a list of other parts you might need below as well.

We don't have any Demco base plate kits that fit your 2013 Mini Cooper convertible, but we do a Roadmaster with the part # 521879-1A but it would only fit if yours is an S model. You'd be able to use your current Demco tow bar with it with the adapter part # RM-033. For a wireless tow bar lighting solution that has two different light assemblies you'd want the Hopkins Tow Lights part # C6304. view full answer...
A cargo carrier is a great way to expand your 2005 Mini Cooper R52 Convertible's carrying options.
First, you'll need a hitch. The Mini Cooper R52's for that year only have one confirmed fit, the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch, part # C11126 . This will give you a suitable hitch receiver to carry a range of accessories.
To note, Curt requires that you use a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 to carry all non-trailer loads. Support straps are a good idea as it is, and I've included a video... view full answer...
The only roof rack solution for your 2019 Mini Cooper Hardtop S 2-door is the SeaSucker part # 298-SX6000B which uses vacuum cups to secure to your roof. It might seem odd but the rack is super easy to install and remove and also is very secure.
I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well. view full answer...
I would be happy to help you choose a roof rack for your 2019 Mini Cooper Coupe!
If you have the flush mount rails that run from the front to the back of your roof then I recommend going with the Yakima JetStream roof rack system. This consists of the JetStream Bars # Y00425, the RidgeLine Towers # Y00145, and the Fit Kit # Y06009. The aerodynamic design of the JetStream bars will help to reduce wind noise and drag while the aluminum construction keeps them from rusting. This roof rack... view full answer...
For the 2021 Mini Cooper 3 door hardtop, SeaSucker has a roof rack application that would work great for carrying up to 3 bikes. You'll want to go with their Bomber Bike Rack, part # 298-BB3008. The unit uses a total of 8 vacuum cups to attach to the vehicle roof.
I'll admit, when we first started carrying SeaSucker products, I was pretty skeptical about using suction cups to attach an accessory to a vehicle. The vacuum cups are truly legit, with each have a pull rating of 210 lbs (it... view full answer...
You're on the right track; the Blue Ox # BX1307 are a fit on your 2010 Mini Cooper S and since you've got the manual transmission model, my research says that this model can be flat towed; just as a reference- the automatic transmission models cannot be flat towed.
When it comes to a tow bar, the Blue Ox base plates are compatible with a number of Blue Ox tow bars without the need for adapters. These plates are compatible with the Adventurer, Aladdin, Allure, Alpha, Avail, Aventa, and... view full answer...
As long as the crossbars on your 2012 Mini Cooper are wider than 23-5/8 inches apart the Thule Force cargo box part # TH6357B that you referenced would fit.
You will need to check the owners manual of your vehicle to determine the capacity of the roof and be sure not to exceed this figure with the weight of the cargo you plan to carry. view full answer...
