The answer appears to be no. The only company that makes a base plate for the 2023 is Roadmaster and they specifically say no JCW. Check your owner's manual to see for sure but without a base plate you're really out of luck. I tried to find the owner's manual but there are too many variables on the Mini site so couldn't find more specific information. The other thing you could check to see is if you can dolly tow it using the # DM9713045. If not, the only option would be to use a trailer.

Thanks Robin, going with a 2022 JCW convertible FWD. Planning on picking up the trailer you recommend. Is there a way to confirm that it's okay to use on a tow-dolly with the front wheels up and the ebrake off?
