Curt's Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11272 for the 2012 - 2013 Mini Cooper Hardtop with single exhaust is a light-duty Class I hitch that really should not be used with any sort of hitch adapter.
The reason is that on any hitch on any vehicle hitch extensions like # HTAD, # HT5R and # HES6 move the actual load far enough away from the hitch tube to increase the leverage and stress on it. These adapters also tend to allow for more random motion of whatever is mounted in them and this again... view full answer...
I may have another option for you, but there is not a 2" trailer hitch receiver made for your 2015 Mini Cooper at this time.
Since you do not have an S or John Cooper Works Model the hitch with the highest tongue weight rating is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11417 which has a 200lb tongue weight rating and 2000lb trailer weight rating. If you have a spare tire located under your vehicle you will need to remove it to install the # C11417.

To flat tow a 2015 Mini Cooper with a Blue Ox tow bar would require a the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX1312.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
The 119251 part that you referenced is actually the same as the Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Wiring Harness # 119250KIT, which is indeed a fit for your 2010 Mini Cooper. We simply use a different part number on our end for organizational purposes, but both numbers refer to the same exact kit from Tekonsha (the 119251 is the number Tekonsha uses).
This is a great kit for your Mini Cooper as it uses zero-contact interface sensors to identify the current coming through the factory wires... view full answer...
The screen size of the monitor on the Buyers Products RV Back-Up Camera System # 3378883020 that you referenced is 7 inches like you mentioned wanting and it can be wired so that it is on when the vehicle is on or with a switch if you'd prefer that. Some people wire it to the reverse light circuit so that it only comes on when the vehicle is in reverse. While the cable length that comes with this is 65 feet which is way more than you'd need but since the whole kit weighs less than 5 lbs... view full answer...
I have a solution for you to add a roof rack to your 2014 Mini Cooper S, but the Yakima Roof Rack Kit that uses parts # Y00421, # Y00145 and Y06009 is not going to work with your bare roof. The only option available for your Mini Cooper is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B, but this is a great option that allows you to easily install and remove your roof rack. The SeaSucker Monkey Bars have durable vacuum cup mounts that won't damage your vehicle, but are still extremely strong, and... view full answer...
The Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # Y02634 is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Mini Cooper S. For this fit, the option wing type spoiler can have the straps routed under the wing to prevent damage to the spoiler.
It doesn't look like you have the wing style spoiler so unless you want to add a roof rack for a roof mounted rack, you will risk damaging that spoiler.
For your 2 door Cooper S, I recommend the Yakima Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black... view full answer...
For your 2005 Mini Cooper convertible only a light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch is offered, the Curt model # C11126, which fits the non-S-Series convertible version.
But if the trailer you want to tow has a 2-inch coupler, this just means that it requires a 2-inch hitch ball like # A-82 which will work in ball mount # C45521. This is the recommend ball mount for the Curt Class I hitch. You do not need any sort of adapter to use a 2-inch hitch ball on your Mini.

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.

Yes, there is a rack available for your 2015 Mini Cooper and it is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long # 298-SX6000B. This option uses vacuum cups rated for 210 lbs pull strength each to secure the rack and your roof box to the Mini.

In order to determine the wiring functions behind the taillights of your 2006 Mini Cooper you will need to use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 if needed. You will have someone sit in the vehicle and run through the turn signal, brake, and running light functions while you test the wires.
I know that on a 2005 model the wires are purple for running lights, black with green tracer is brake lights, and blue with green tracer for left turn signal. On the passenger side the blue with tan tracer... view full answer...
The 2- and 3-bike trunk-mount bike racks confirmed to fit on the 2013 Mini Cooper S Hardtop can be seen on the linked page.

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...
For activating the tail lights of your 2008 Mini Cooper with your RV while the Mini is being flat-towed you will want to check out the FAQs I attached that detail how this is done. The process and installation will be the exact same as what you would need to do to install a diode kit on your vehicle.
Basically, you will use a set of diodes installed in your vehicle to operate the tail lights of you vehicle with the tow bar wiring from your RV. This will not affect the functioning of your... view full answer...
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
