Hi Henry,
Good news as I can confirm for you the correct Blue Ox base plate for your 2016 Mini Cooper Countryman S model is indeed the one you asked about, the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1308.
So that'll work to give you the attachment point for a tow bar, and if you happen to need the other parts to complete your flat tow set up, you can use the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar # BX7380, Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267, and either the Demco Air Force One Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Air Brakes # SM99243 or Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes # SM99251.
