For your 2015 Mini Countryman S the hitch I recommend is the M7 Speed hitch part # 327-60-160200 that you referenced. It's the easiest to install and has a 2 inch opening with plenty of capacity for a 700 lb boat trailer. For trailer wiring you'd then want the Tekonsha kit part # 119250KIT as it has the most reliable converter box we have.
Since you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
