Expert Reply:
The only information I could find on the towing capacity of the Mini Cooper was on the base model (using 2008 as the model year) and that was on MSN Autos. I checked an online copy of the owners manual and cannot confirm the capacity of any models. What I did find for a 2008 base model was a towing capacity of 1,433 pounds. However you will need to speak with a Mini dealer/technician to determine the vehicles capacity as equipped.
The Curt trailer hitch # C11130 has a capacity of 2,000 pounds gross trailer weight and 200 pounds tongue weight. But if the vehicle is rated lower you must go by the lower rating. And if Mini says you cannot tow with the vehicle then you will want to follow that recommendation.
If they tell you that you can tow then you will also need a ball mount, # C45519, and a properly sized ball, # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 19258 for a 2 inch. For trailer wiring you can use # 119250KIT.
