How to Flat-Tow a 2006 Mini Cooper S with Automatic Transmission
Question:
What are the parts I would need to tow a 2006 Mini Cooper S Convertible behind my motorhome? It has an automatic transmission.

Expert Reply:
The 2006 Mini Cooper S with an automatic transmission will need to be towed behind your motorhome on a tow dolly with the front two wheels off of the ground. There are models that can be flat-towed with all fours wheels down but they have a manual transmission, not an automatic.
The best tow dolly we have for your Mini Cooper S is the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes part # RM-2050-1. This tow dolly has everything you need to hit the road for the exception of a trailer connector like part # PK12706. I prefer using a tow dolly as it will not be as hard on vehicle in terms of road abuse and it will require far less modifications.
I have attached a review video for you as well.
