2006 r50 hatchback mini tow hitch advice

Newbie question

I just purchased a 2006 mini base model hatch back and I want to add a tow hitch. I'm wondering if this one will work or if anyone has any advice.

I collect pre WWII bicycles and need the hitch for a heavy duty bike rack.

Thanks!

I thought the link to the item might help seems like the price is right.

That looks like a copy of the hitch I installed on my 2006 MCS. Minidomore.com sells the one I have and it's been fantastic. The price certainly does look good. It's about half what I paid for mine.

Thanks for your reply I appreciate it. I'm going to give a try hope the quality is good and the holes line up lol

I'm just using it for bikes so I'm not too worried about the tow capacity.
