We have a great option for you but the Thule Passage # TH910XT is not a confirmed fit for your convertible model 2006 Mini Cooper. Instead of a trunk mounted bike rack, I recommend a hitch mounted for your convertible. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11126 and the Saris Freedom Bike Rack # SA4412B. The Curt has a receiver opening of 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" and is a Class I type hitch with a max tongue weight 200 lbs.
The Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # SA4412B is great option for your convertible. It has cradles with cushioned straps that grip your bike frames, sliding wheel trays for different wheelbases, and an anti-rattle hitch pin. Sliding wheel trays let you carry bikes with different wheelbases the twist knobs let you adjust wheel trays with straps to secure bike wheels to trays.
