Question:
I just bought a 2000 S Mini. I found a tow hitch in behind the reverse light. I cant find a place either under the Mini or anywhere else,to put the reciever pin in. Can you help me out on this? Thx.

The hitch pin hole should be accessible behind the bumper as shown in the photo I edited for you.
You will need to reach up behind the bumper to insert the hitch pin.
The Mini Cooper uses a Class I receiver. You should make sure that any accessories (like bike racks or cargo carriers) are Class I-compatible. Bike racks used in a Class I receiver will be limited to carrying two bikes only.
I have linked you to our selection of Class I-compatible bike racks.
