Expert Reply:

For your 2008 Mini Cooper S hard top, the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1303 is not the correct fit. It is only designed for 2002-2006 Mini Cooper hard top and 2007-2008 Mini Cooper convertible models.

Blue Ox does not have a compatible base plate for your S hard top but I do have a solution for you. The Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 521877-1 will work with the aerodynamic package but not the sport package on your 2008 Mini Cooper S hard top.

If you have a Blue Ox Tow bar then you will use Roadmaster Tow Bar Adapter # RM-032 for compatibility.
