Hitch for 2012 R56 Cooper (Non S)?

Apologies, I'm sure this been covered, but I couldn't find it in a search.

Are there any trailer hitches that don't require bumper cutting for the 2011+ hardtops? I may have to just bite the bullet and go with he Mini Fini, but wasn't sure. Thanks!

I don't believe so. The rear bumper is just to low, any hitch that sits below the bumper could easily scrape the ground.

And as the hitch attaches to the car sub frame any scraping would be bad.

Not sure what your objective is. Both TG and I have some detailed reviews and information on our setups over in the Roadster section.

TG went the Curt/MiniDoMore route while I installed a MiniFini.

Here is my write up on the MiniFini

And a follow up with my final setup and lessons learned.
