Question:

What is the difference for $20 cost between the two M7 external hitches? they look the same, but one has some different hardware? will either work? thanks

Yes, they are different hitches. The hardware looks similar and so does the installation methods but the hitches are different. The M7 Speed MINI Ultimate Utility Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" item # 327-60-160201 is for the John Copper Works model of the 2013 Mini Countryman and the M7 Speed MINI Ultimate Utility Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" item # 327-60-160200 does not fit the John Copper Works model. You will want to confirm what model Mini you have. Neither hitch fits the hybrid model.
