Question:
I just bought a 2021 mini Cooper 4 door hatchback hardtop. I am looking this type of hitch for a bike rack. Can I install these in the tow holes in my bumper?
Answer:
The G3NMA1179 bike rack mounting system is for the F55 without the S3ARA Luggage Prep option.
  • We have not seen any changes with the 2021 models to affect this product so it should fit fine - provided your MINI does not have the luggage prep option.
