Curt Class I Hitch # C11126 for the 2005 Mini Cooper will not fit on the S-Series models due to the center-positioned exhaust. This is true for both convertible and hardtop versions. Currently none of our hitch brands offers a rear hitch receiver that is compatible with your vehicle.

If you were interested in the hitch in order to support a bike rack, we do offer a variety of trunk-mount bike carriers. If this is of interest please confirm the particular vehicle you have (Cooper JCW, Cooper Coupe, Cooper Roadster) and we will be happy to make a recommendation.
