2011 Cooper S Hatchback

Looking at purchasing one and it has a sunroof. I need a roof mounted bike mount since I work in the cycling industry and rid a lot. Does the sunroof prevent you from mounting the mini roof rack system?

Nope, the sunroof does not interfere. My R56 had a roof rack with the panoramic sunroof with no issues.

OK, thanks. I hope everything pans out and I pull the trigger on this car because it's the color I want and almost has all the options I'm looking for.

I'm an avid cyclist and triathlete, and I had the factory roofrack on my R56 when I had it. No clearance issues with the sunroof at all. I have the factory crossbars on my Countryman now and it's the same.

No issues with the roof rack, the only time it will interfere is if you have a snowboard rack on the crossbars and have a snowboard upside down, the bindings will prevent it from opening. For any other accessory you are fine
