Can 2019 Mini Countryman JCW be Flat Towed

Question

Question:

Is there a way to flat tow a 2019 Mini Countryman All4 with JCW package and manual transmission? I have seen conflicting info on your site. One tech said the Blue Ox base plate BX1312 will fit, another tech said the car must be transported on a flatbed. Is it possible to Flat tow? Thanks for your help.

The Blue Ox base plate kit you mentioned only fits the Mini Coopers and not the Countryman. Only option for your 2019 Mini Countryman JCW would be a tow dolly like the Demco Kar Kaddy SS part # DM9713045.
