Check this thread in the Dinghy forum for towing with a dolly.

Check many other threads in the Dinghy Forum for info about flat towing a MINI.

Check the application chart at remcotowing.com. It will tell you by year, make and model what need to be done to tow 4 down, or that it cannot be with a modification, or that a dolly is needed.

It's not listed in the FMCA towables guide.

But that doesn't mean that it can't be towed. Lots of toads that the manufacturers says can't be towed, are being towed. This is mainly because they don't want to deal with the legal liability. Remco Towing's Product selector guide is a good place to start looking.

We towed a 2005 Mini S Convertible for several years. It is an easy car to tow. Light and fun to drive when you get there. We just put the six speed manual into neutral and turned the key on then off and away we went. No issues at all.

If you want to stay small, check out the Honda Fit - auto tran can be towed 4 down.

Lots of threads on this forum already regarding the Mini Cooper, and a search would be beneficial to the original poster. With that said, I flat tow my Mini Cooper and so do many others on this forum. Stick shift only as the automatic would need some sort of lube pump. Mini says, "No".

We tow a 2008 mini clubman S 6 speed.2008 and newer steering doesn't lock, no key in ignition just put in nuetral and go.Used roadmaster base plts.$399.00 from American rvcompany,stowmaster tow bar craigslist $100.00,magnetic lights from roadmaster $69.99.ready to go.My son and i installed base plt 1.5-2hrs,not bad came with good instructions.Mag lights are a little pricey but come with a much better cord, magnets are very strong no movement come with protective plastic pcs no marks on roof.Installed last spring towed aprox. 2500 miles every thing worked great,if it wasn't for rearview camera would't know car was back there.

good luck
