asked by: DANIEL J
Expert Reply:
We do have a baseplate that will fit for your 2007 Mini Cooper S, however the Blue Ox item # BX1304 you mentioned will not fit. You will need the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit item # 521877-1 which is confirmed to fit your 2008 Mini Cooper S. I have linked an installation video below.
Along with these base plates, there are a number of other parts that will be needed so you can flat tow your Mini Cooper S. I have listed them below and linked some review and installation videos as well.
