How to Use a Blue Ox Tow Bar with the Roadmaster EZ2 Base Plate Kit on a 2012 Mini Clubman S
Question:
Will this base plate fit on a 2012 Mini Cooper S Clubman with a manufacture date of 05/12? I like the install much better on this than the Blue Ox one. I don’t like how the Blue Ox baseplate requires drilling big holes in major bumper structural components. Also will a Blue Ox towbar attach to this baseplate, because I already have one of those from when I towed a Jeep.

Helpful Expert Reply:
The correct Roadmaster EZ2 Base Plate Kit for your 2012 Mini Clubman S with a manufacturer date of 05/12 is part # 521879-1A, not part # 521880-1. You can use most Blue OX Tow Bars which are listed for you below with this base plate kit so long as you also purchase the RoadMaster Base Plate to Blue Ox and Demco Tow Bars Adapter part # RM-033 and the Roadmaster Tow Bar Quick Disconnect Kit part # RM-201.
