Due to the fact that your vehicle is a convertible, the Thule Passage # TH910XT isn't compatible with your vehicle, I'm sorry to say, but there are some options that are.

Hollywood Racks offers a 2 bike # HRF2 or a 3 Bike # HRF2-3 Over the Top bike rack that would work great with your Mini Cooper Convertible. I've linked you to a product demonstration video. Please click the provided link if you're interested in viewing it.

If you'll be transporting women's bikes or bikes with sharply-angled top tubes, you might also consider a frame adapter bar like part # 64005. The bar spans the distance between the handlebar gooseneck and the seat post, which provides a secondary attachment point for the bike rack. This allows the bike to be carried level, which maximizes ground clearance.
