Expert Reply:

The Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 521877-1 is our only base plate which fits the 2009 Mini Cooper S hardtop. It will not fit with the sport suspension or John Cooper Works options. This will connect to your tow vehicle using the Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-676 and Crossbar # 910021-00. You may need one of the High-Low adapters to keep the tow bars within 3" of level from vehicle to vehicle. We have a 4" # RM-048-4, 6" # RM-048-6 and 8" # RM-048-8 option to keep the bar as level as possible.

The Accessory Kit # RM-9284-2 and Charge Line # RM-156-25 will provide you with all the wiring you need to integrate your tail lights to run off the tow vehicle lighting and maintain the battery charge while you are towing. This will prevent the Braking System # BLU37TR from draining the battery and having to stop and run the engine on your Mini to recharge the battery during your trips.
