What Base Plate Would you Use on a 2014 Mini Coountryman
Question:
I am still very much on the fence with regard to which baseplate I want to purchase for my 2014 MINI Countryman S. Both the Blue Ox BX1308 and the Roadmaster RM-521883-5 will work. I have 2 questions. Is one easier to install than the other? And when the installation is finished, does one look better less noticeable than the other? I think if I had these 2 questions answered, I can finally make a decision.

When choosing between the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX1308 and the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-521883-5 the installation is going to be almost identical so that really should not effect your decision.
As far as looks go the Roadmaster will offer a cleaner neater look when not in use. Of the two I would choose the Roadmaster with out a doubt.
I have linked an installation video for you to check out on a 2016 Countryman.
