Generally speaking, FWD vehicles that are dolly towed would be placed in park with the steering wheel locked. I checked the owner's manual for the 2015 Mini Cooper for dolly towing procedure, and didn't find much information there, other than the fact that automatic transmission equipped models should be towed with the front wheels off the ground. I'd recommend checking with your Mini dealer for further advice.
I've linked to a product demonstration video for the Roadmaster # RM-2050-1... view full answer...
Your 2013 Mini Countryman uses a 3-wire lighting system. That means there is a wire for the turn signals, stop lights, and taillights. You will need to install a diode on each of these circuits to prevent power backfeed. If you take a look at the attached photo/article this will give you a better idea of how to wire them properly. If you need an additional two diodes for the extra wires you can use part # RM-792. view full answer...
I wish we had an install video for the Curt hitch you mentioned but at this time we have not had a chance to install it on a vehicle.

The Bully Round Resonated Bolt-on Exhaust Tip, 3-1/4" Round, 9" Long # PM-5104 is designed specifically to make your vehicle sound noticeable.

It also is stainless steel so it will have a clean look and be corrosion resistant. It will fit 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/2 inch diameter pipes. view full answer...
The Yakima FullBack 2 Trunk Mount Bike Rack # Y02634 is arguably my favorite trunk mount rack and will fit your 2022 Mini Countryman. With that being said, the best way to any damage to your Countryman is to use a hitch bike rack. The FullBack won't damage your vehicle right off the bat but since you will be loading bikes on a rack that is resting against your vehicle for support the potential is there.
For your application you need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11522 and then you... view full answer...
The cable fastener, # DL24360, should be inserted into one of the holes in the side of the cable drum on the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch, # DL15002.
The packaging for the cable fastener, see attached photo, shows that it should be installed in the slotted hole in the side of the drum, but on the smaller Dutton-Lainson hand winches, DL600A and DL900A, the slot is not large enough for the cable fastener so one of the round holes must be used.
I provided a short video showing how the cable... view full answer...
