Cooper D - towing?

Hi folks

Just wondering if anyone knew if it is possible to tow a trailer with a Cooper D? If so, how much can you haul?

Regards from Norway

Westfalia make a towbar for R56.

Westfalia Versand Deutschland - Spezialversandhaus für Werkzeug, Elektronik, Haus und Garten, Autozubehör und Landwirtschaft

under BMW.

I think that they make the OE one as well!

Check out Mini Cooper Interior and Towing Accessories | MiniDoMore.com
They have a towhitch which is completely invisible until you add the towball.

If you know how many MINIs you have you don't have enough ...
