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.

You have the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plates, # e44ZR, being used on your 2007 Mini Cooper with Roadmaster EZ base plates, # 521877-1 and are looking for a car guard.
The Blue Ox KarGard Towed Vehicle Protector, # BX8870 is designed to work with most Blue Ox tow bars, will not work with the Blue Ox Acclaim tow bars. Blue Ox states that it will fit with many other manufacturers tow bars but we have not verified that it will match specifically... view full answer...
We have solutions that will allow you to carry your 50 lb e-bike but none of the trunk mounted bike racks are rated for carrying more than a 35 lbs bike. So you'd need to have a hitch installed on your 2021 Mini Cooper Convertible like the EcoHitch part # 306-X7290 and then you'd be able to install and use an e-bike rack like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202.
I attached an install video for the hitch and a review video for the bike rack. view full answer...
We checked with Yakima and they list their FullBack 2 part # Y02634 as a confirmed fit for your 2015 Mini Cooper so that would be a great option to carry one or two bikes with. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.
If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment... view full answer...
While we don't have a Rola roof rack confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Mini Cooper with a hardtop I do have a great economically priced option that is a confirmed fit and would work great for carrying a kayak.
For that I'd recommend the Inno roof rack part numbers # INB117, # INSUT, and # INK463. This a square bar roof rack that is custom fit for your vehicle that comes with all of the needed components to fit.
Then for a kayak carrier the Yakima JayLow part # Y04073 is a really great... view full answer...
For your 2019 Mini Clubman the OEM roof rack you will just want to go slightly smaller than the 42 inches you referenced for your fairing. I recommend the Yakima WindShield Fairing for Roof Racks - 40" Long # Y05017 which will work great with your crossbars. This fairing has a universal fit where other brands don't always fit OEM racks. view full answer...
It doesn't look like there is a flat metal surface that the # LIW-LDTL-7B could attach to at the rear of your 2012 Mini Cooper convertible so a different light kit like the # RM-2120 would be a much better option with the TLP01 helpers would probably work for you.. view full answer...
For a similar muffler to what comes with the Magnaflow Cat-Back part # MF15207 that has been confirmed as a fit for your 2012 Mini Cooper S you want something like the part # MF14805.
This is a muffler canister that has two outlet "tips" that would give you a similar look. We can't guarantee that it would bolt right up to your current exhaust, but if you took it with you to a muffler shop and told them what you were looking to have done they would have no problem getting it installed. view full answer...
The Thule K-Summit tire Chain, part # TH02230K22 is without a doubt the easiest chain set to install. Drape the chain over the tire, attach to the wheel lug nut or bolt and drive away. The chains will self center and self tighten. The K-Summit is not inexpensive, but is extremely easy to install and offers great performance and a 5 year warranty.
Be sure to read your owners manual for any of recommendations or prohibitions regarding tire chain usage.

It looks like the 2015 Mini Countryman could have 1 of 3 possible stock tire sizes, 205/55-17, 225/40-19, or 225/45-18.
For the 205/55-17 size the equivalent chains are # TH00204097. I have included a link to a video review of these chains for you.
For the 225/40-19 tire size you can use # TH04115102.
And for size 225/45-18 I recommend chains # TH00023100. The 3 tire sizes are different enough to necessitate 3 different chain models. But not matter what tire size you have on your Mini... view full answer...
The best way for you to carry a kayak with your towed 2010 Mini Cooper is with a roof rack and an attached kayak carrier. This will allow you to utilize the towed vehicle rather than trying to work around it.
One of the main attractions of a Mini Cooper is it's low profile. Keeping that in mind, we have a great combination of roof rack and carrier that will keep that low profile when the kayak is not attached.
The roof rack is the Inno Roof Rack kit using the Aero Crossbars, part # INXB93-2.... view full answer...
I'd be happy to help!
The only tire chains I recommend using for the 225/40R18 tires on your 2016 Mini Clubman are the Konig K-Summit Tire Chains # th02230k23 because they use a unique design that installs to your tire via the lug nut and then the chain only sits on the tread of your tire so you won't have any chain on the inner sidewall of your tires.
The reason this is important, and the only reason I recommend this chain for your application, is because your owner's manual only calls... view full answer...

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11387 is designed to fit your 2009 Mini Clubman it is the only hitch available and is a Class 1. This means it is only rated to carry a two bike rack. With that said the Swagman XTC-2 2-Bike Platform Rack part # S64670 is a great rack that is very easy to use. Or the awesome Thule EasyFold XT 2 E-Bike Platform Rack part # TH903202 you checked out.
There is a solution to use the roof to carry the extra bike or eliminate the hitch and rack and get... view full answer...
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...
We offer a whole range of roof rack fork-mount style bike carriers that are designed to work with the factory installed crossbars like those on your Cooper S. I have provided for you a link to our main page that will let you see all options.
Since the fit of a given bike on a given carrier involves several considerations, such as type of brakes and axle length, you can use the filters on the page to select just the items compatible with your type of bike. If included locks for the bike... view full answer...
We have great hitch options for your 2015 Mini Cooper John Cooper Works Countryman but since you need to carry more than 2 bikes, you'll need to go with the M7 Speed MINI Ultimate Utility Hitch Receiver, part # 327-60-160201. This will give you a 2" receiver and a tongue weight capacity of 150 lbs.
Then for a bike rack I really like the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 3 Bikes, part # KU24FR. This is a lightweight platform rack (which is normally an unheard of combo). That means it'll be... view full answer...
One inch of fender well clearance is a pretty good amount of clearance. The Thule Easy Fits part # TH04115102 that you referenced would be the best option as they easily work with that clearance and they install very easily and quickly.

I have exactly what you are needing for your 2013 Mini Cooper towing setup.
Starting off with the tow bar; Blue Ox has their Alpha tow bar # BX7380 which is what I recommend using. It is very easy to maneuver and it comes with the safety cables for added security when driving down the road.
Next you will want your base plates. Blue Ox has their Mini Cooper Base Plate Kit # BX1307 which works really well with the Alpha tow bar. This kit is very well hidden. You can remove the arms when... 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.
Please note that the two Hollywood Racks products, the two versions of their spoiler-friendly Over-the-Top racks # HRF2 and # HRF2-3, are meant for the S that has a roof rack system. Also please note that Yakima does not recommend either their Fullback or Halfback racks for your Cooper S.
