For your 2017 Mini Cooper Convertible the EcoHitch part # 306-X7290 is a confirmed fit and would work great. It does not require the permanent removable of the rear spare to install either. For trailer wiring the ZCI kit part # 119250KIT is a really great option that installs without splicing into the taillight wiring like other options.

I attached an install video link for the trailer hitch for you to check out as well.
