When it comes to installing a trailer hitch on your 2010 Mini Cooper The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 1-1/4 inch # EH47FR will not fit but The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4 inch # C11160 will. It has a concealed cross tube which will give it a nice hidden sleek look after it is installed. It has a gross towing weight up to 2,000 pounds and a gross tongue weight up to 200 pounds. Make sure to double check your vehicle's manual to get the proper towing weight for your vehicle. The Curt hitch is assembled in the USA.

When it comes to the installation of the wiring on your 2010 Mini Cooper we do not have any plug and play trailer wiring packages confirmed for your vehicle. You would have to use The ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness with Installation Kit # 119250KIT which is the splice method.

I attached a installation video link below.
