Will the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH47FR Fit My 2008 Mini S R56 2 Door Hardtop?

Question:
I have a 2008 mini s R56 2 door hardtop, dual center exhaust tips. Will this hitch fit my vehicle? I do not need a wiring harness or anything of that nature as it will be only for a bike rack. Thank you in advance!
