Helpful Expert Reply:

If your 2013 Mini Cooper Countryman is AWD then it cannot be flat towed or dolly towed and must be towed on a trailer. If you have the FWD model with the 6 speed manual transmission, it is towable as is. There are no fuses that need to be pulled on this vehicle.

I recommend the following to do so:

Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1308
Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar # BX7380 (which includes safety cables)
Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # SM99251

The final thing you need is a high-low adapter. I've attached an article to assist with measuring for fit and have attached a link to all your options.
