The best tow bar is going to depend partially on the base plates you have for your 2010 Mini Cooper hardtop S model. The only confirmed fit we have is the Roadmaster EZ # 521877-1, and if you have the same base plate kit the tow bar I recommend is the Roadmaster Falcon 2 # RM-520. This is a high quality bar that is very popular due to how easy it makes the connection between the tow car and dinghy. A look at the customer reviews of this tow bar is also telling and speaks to the Falcon 2's effectiveness.

I've added links to video reviews for you to take a look at, and if you need any other parts for your 2010 Mini Cooper to complete your flat towing setup, please let me know.
