In order to use your Roadmaster Falcon towbar, you'll need to use the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 521878-1, which are a confirmed fit on the 2009 Mini Cooper. If you don't have a tow bar wiring/lighting solution for this vehicle yet, I recommend using the Hopkins Magnetic Tow Lights # C6304 , which are easy to install and can be reused if you end up switching dinghy vehicles at some point in the future.

I've also linked all of our supplemental braking systems to this answer, in case you don't have a portable supplemental braking solution already, as well as our high/low adapters; these would be the additional parts you may need in order to complete your flat towing setup.
