2012 Cooper S trailer hitch

Has anyone installed a trailer hitch on their 2012 Cooper S ?

Might be towing my pull behind motorcycle trailer soon.

I recently got the coopercrap.com hitch for a bike rack...easy install, looks clean, and completely removable when you're not using it.

I installed the Minifini sport link and trailer hitch receptacle on my 2009 JCW. I hoot a bike rack into the receptacle, works great. Installed it myself. I would recommend it just a little pricey.

MINI FINI Sport link

I just moved my Sport Link to my 2012 MCS. It has been on both of my previous MINIs. I use the Bike rack often and also have the first version of the Tow Link as pictured on MINI FINI's website.
It's not too difficult to install, but does require drilling a couple of holes in the rear bumper cover.

Raising this thread back from the dead.... Did you ever install this? I need to install a hitch on my 2012 Cooper Coupe S to tow a motorcycle. Anyone have suggestions?
