Question:

Hi, I have a 2008 Mini Cooper S three door hatch hardtop with 6 speed manual transmission and adjustable suspension. Is there a base plate that will work with this car? Thank you,

As long as you have the Aerodynamic Package and not the Sport suspension you can use the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 521877-1. If you do have the Sport suspension then from what I can see you'll need to use a tow dolly like the Demco Kar Kaddy SS # DM9713045.

For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If you do not have all of these components just let me know and I can make some additional recommendations for you.
