I've got a Blue ox tow bar base plate mounted on my 03 MCS. It came on the car when I purchased it, and was used to tow the car 4 down for 2 years behind an RV. It'll include the base plate and the wiring harness and anything else I take out when I remove it, including the non-Aero lower grill that is already cut out for it.

I looked around online and they look like they run about $350ish new from what I can find, and it looks like it'll work on any 02-06 MC or MCS with a manual transmission, but I'm making no promises about it working on anything other then the 03 MCS that it's on now.

As a result, I'm asking $200 OBO plus actual shipping costs, since it's somewhat heavy. I can take any pics that you want of it. I prefer paypal, and I'm paypal verified.

It's on a car with Yellow Koni's and and H-Sport springs, if that matters.

I'm also open to offers of trades of various Mini parts. Wheels, grills,trim, hood scoops, whatever.

Thanks!

 

Do you still have it? if so would i need anything else to tow my mini? thanks

 

I do still have it. In fact, it's still mounted on my car.

As for needing anything else, I'm not sure. You would certainly need to have the blue ox tow bar (you can see them at www.blueox.us) on whatever is going to do the towing. In the case of the former owner of my car, that was a RV.

It's my intent to include the base plate, the wiring harness, the lower MINI grill that the base is sticking through, and anything else associated with it when I remove it from my car. Looking at the blue ox website, all that appears to be needed is the tow plate and wireing harness, so I don't think there would be anything else required on the MINI side of things.

 

Bringing back a long dead thread, I still have this for sale. It's not off the car, and I have the lower grill to go with it. I did not remove the wiring harness, but upon inspection when we pulled the bumper to remove the tow bar, it looks like a pretty standard harness.

There may be some modifications to the car required for this, it looks to me like there were 2 additional holes drilled in the frame to bolt this too, but I am not 100% sure on that as I didn't install it in the first place. It came on the car.

 

I just came across your posting for the base plate. Do you still have it? I'm interested.
Thanks,
Jim
