Anybody out there in MINIland with experience on trailer hitches for a U25 Countryman JCW?
Did some quick research and came up with 'Stealth' hitches. Hoping to be able to carry my bikes aboard with my Kuat Rack.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

 

I would check eTrailer.com and/or UHaul. If there is an after-market one they would know about it. My understanding is that at least in the US, only the ICE S All 4 comes with a hitch from the factory and it is an option you have to order at build time (or the dealership had to order it on the vehicle they ordered). The S (with JCW trim), the JCW, and the EV models don't have a factory hitch option unfortunately. I find this really frustrating and infuriating on BMW's part. Why would they think anyone who bought any of the Countryman models would not want the option to have a hitch?

 

Options:

Roof rack

Factory rear Bike hitch is on backorder.


Factory Hitch : Looks like it has to be ordered with it? I dont know anyone thats added it to a JCW.

U25 Options

 

Nothing on the market yet for our JCWs… I’ve been after one too so I can tow my Street Triple.
best bet rightnow is to look at option for the BMW X1 as they are built on the same chassis. Just depend on the rear bumper cover.

 

I just came across this!!! I am going to be emailing them asking it it’ll work on the JCW. I don’t see why not. It’s a little out there for price point though. Just a heads up!

Good news if you can afford this option for the JCW…
