- Can Spare Tire on 2013 Mini Cooper Hardtop Remain In Place with Curt C11272 Class I Hitch Installed
- The Curt class I hitch you' mentioned, part # C11272 will fit your 2013 Mini Cooper hardtop as long as it isn't a specialty model like the S series or John Cooper Works.
I can not only confirm that you'll be able to retain your spare tire, I can prove it with a photo from the installation instructions showing the hitch installed and the spare tire still in place. Per the instructions, you might need to reposition the tire slightly, but you'll still be able to carry it under the rear of...

- Our wheel/tire combos, like the Loadstar ST185/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire w/13" White Modular Wheel # AM3S333 that you referenced, don't come balanced like a passenger car tire but they do come mounted with the high spot on the wheel matched up with the low spot on the tire. Although this isn't quite the same as balancing it is good enough for trailer tires and they are perfectly safe to use this way.
If you do decide that you want to get them professionally balanced then there is no harm...

- You are correct that the base plates that fit your 2018 Mini Cooper Countryman (with the exception of the S model) are the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1316.
Along with base plates there are a number of other parts you'll need to flat tow your '18 Countryman, which I'll list for you.
- Tow Bar: Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar # BX7380
- Wiring Harness: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
- Supplemental Braking System: SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System...
view full answer... - Which Cargo Boxes Will Fit the Factory Roof Rack on a 2017 Mini Countryman
- As far as physically fitting the factory crossbars on your 2017 Mini Countryman you can use any of the Thule or Yakima boxes. No adapters needed. But you will want to be cautious if you want a box that will not interfere with the rear hatch.
For example one of the shortest Thule boxes is # TH614. On this box it measures slightly under 42-5/8 inches from the center of the rear attachment point to the back of the box. What that means is that you will need to have 42-5/8 inches or more from...

view full answer... - Can the Rear Doors Open on a 2011 Mini Clubman with the Thule Helium Aero Bike Rack Installed
- If you are asking if you will be able to open the rear doors on your 2011 Mini Clubman with the bike rack installed it is possible they will be able to open all the way with the Thule Helium Aero, # TH9042PRO, tilted down. Since the doors on the back of the vehicle are half doors, when the rack is tilted down you should be able to open them without hitting the rack. I have included a link to a video review of the rack for you.
view full answer... - Will K-Summit Tire Chains Fit on a 2015 Mini Cooper with 205/45-17 Tires and 14mm Lug Nuts
- First we need to make sure that what you are measuring is the same as what the K-Summit lug nut adapters fit. The 17 and 19 millimeters is referring to the outside dimension of the lug nut itself and not the size wheel bolt that it fits on. If your lug nuts are indeed 14mm then the K-Summit chains # TH02230K22 would not fit and there isn't a 14mm adapter.
The option that requires the second least amount of clearance is the Snow Socks # TCH62.
view full answer... - Does Blue Ox Base Plate Fit Mini Cooper S
- Yes it does! I confirmed with Blue Ox that the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1303 does in fact fit the 2005 Mini Cooper S.
It does require a compatible tow bar, and for that I recommend the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar # BX7380 for tow bar that gives you the most bang for your buck. The rest of the flat towing set up you will need for your 2005 Mini Cooper S is the following:
- Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit with Bulbs # RM-155
- Supplemental Braking System: Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking...
view full answer... - Will the Curt Hitch Fit a 2014 Mini Countryman S
- The # C11333 Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver is confirmed to fit your 2014 Mini Countryman model S. The John Cooper Works version is the only version this hitch will not fit.
If you plan on doing any light towing, I recommend the # 119250KIT ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit. This is a universal kit that will give you a 4-way connection to power a trailer's signal lights.
I have attached a video review of the wiring harness...

- Regrettably, The Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit, Item # 521876-1, does not fit your 2003 Mini Cooper. The right base plates for your Mini are in the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit, Item # BX1303. Unfortunately, they will not work with your Roadmaster Stowmaster 5000 tow bar.
If you are interested in changing to a tow bar that fits the Blue Ox base plates then I recommend the Blue Ox Acclaim Tow Bar, Item # BX4330.

view full answer... - Recommended Braking System To Flat Tow A 2011 Mini Copper
- The Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System Item # RM-8700 is not meant for mountains so you'll be better off using the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System - Proportional Item # BLU37TR.
This is a system that will require setup each time you tow your vehicle but is a confirmed fit for your 2011 Mini Cooper. Since you plan on going through multiple mountain ranges the safest bet is to use a system that is capable of handling the terrain changes you'll be going through. It...

view full answer... - Recommended Hitch for a 2021 Mini Cooper
- I have a great hitch for your 2021 Mini Cooper 4 Door. It is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch item # 306-X7290. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Mini with included hardware. This hitch will NOT fit the S model or the John Cooper works model.
I really like this hitch because it mounts directly behind the bumper. This leaves only the 1-1/4" receiver portion exposed which doesn't drastically affect the already low ground clearance.

view full answer... - Will Falcon 5250 Tow Bar Fit Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plates on a 2015 Mini Cooper
- Yes the Roadmaster Falcon 5250 tow bar is compatible with the Roadmaster EZ4 base plates # RM-521882-4.
If you do not already have safety cables I recommend # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.
If you do not already have a lighting solution for your 2015 Mini Cooper then the most popular option is diode kit # RM-15267. Or you could use a magnetic kit such as # RM-2120.
You may also need a high/low adapter to keep the tow bar level. I have linked a help...

- When we installed the Curt hitch part # C11333 on a 2013 Mini Countryman similar to your 2015 model we found that from the top of the hitch opening to the ground measured 10 inches. That would mean from the bottom of the hitch to the ground would measure 8-1/2 inches.

- The Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms, # 521877-1, is a confirmed fit to the 2008 Mini Cooper hardtop S unless it has the sport suspension.
The Blue Ox # BX1304 is a fit for the Hardtop Base model, and wouldn't work with S models.
In addition to the base plates, you'll also need a tow bar, safety cables, a vehicle wiring harness, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low adapter if the 15.5 inch installed height of the # 521877-1 has a greater than 3 inch height...
view full answer... - Using Brophy Hitch Extender # hes0 for 1-1/4 Inch Bike Rack on 2003 Mini Cooper
- The Brophy Hitch Extender, part # hes0, is a hitch extender that will extend out your 1-1/4 inch opening by 10 inches. The hitch opening on the extender is 1-1/4 inch.
The # hes0 extender will accept the shaft of a 1-1/4 inch bike rack, but you we need to remember that when using the extender it will reduce the overall weight capacity of your hitch by 50 per cent.
On your 2003 Mini Cooper the hitch will usually be a Class I hitch that has a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. Check the...
