Though we do have what you will need to get a 2017 Mini Cooper S Convertible set up for flat towing, and I do have a whole set up listed below, you do still want to check with a Mini dealer as there are a few determining factors on if it can be flat towed or not. They will need the VIN, so if you can get that, it will be the quickest way to check. You may be able to just give them all the info they need, but the VIN is the most surefire way to check.

Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521882-5
Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar - 6,000 lbs # RM-522
RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000 lbs # RM-643
Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700
Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751469

I did include the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700 as it is one I am preferential to and a supplemental braking system is required in most states. This will require the # RM-751469 stop light switch kit for the install as well. If you prefer a different braking kit or one that is not permanently mounted just let me know. We do have quite a few other options available.
