    It's nice to see MINI's doing real work. Those U-Haul trailers are really heavy though. I went with a PortaChopper trailer, because I can't store a trailer anywhere. It's lighter than that U-Haul, that's for sure. You might want to check them out. I chose the Porta Chops over the Trailer in a Bag, becasue the PortChops has Torsion Suspension and 12" wheel option, and galvanized frame option, and two bars that make the front into an "A" frame and seems much more stout.

    I've been reading a lot of people have fitment problems with those hitches. I don't own a dremel tool, so I went with CURT, which went together flawlessly, without any modifying.

    I am looking at that hitch for my 07 CS, and wonder if I would have to cut a hole in my bumper, or could I hide it behind that bumper, and pop out the black insert for use.

    Also, was the wiring harness plug-and-play, or did you have to cut and splice?
