I am looking to add a roof rack to my Mini, I don't really care if it is an authentic MINI brand one, or Thule or Yakima. Let me know if you might have one for sale or know of anyone that might. Thanks

I have one for R56. It's the actual MINI rails and in pretty good condition. Comes with all manuals and the torque tool to install it. Let me know what model and year and I'll make sure it will fit. Also, how much are you looking to spend? I think new they are $264, I see them $175ish new on eBay. Let me know. Thanks

Forgot to list that I have a 2011 MCS Hardtop. I've seen them go on amazon and eBay for around 175 as well. I would like to spend less than that, but beggers can't be choosers.

Let me check my garage. I believe I have an OEM one with the tools and mounting kit. I'll offer it to your for $125 since I traded my R56 in for an F55 recently.

Or...

I do have a Yakima rack that I had on my old '05 R53. Should fit fine. It is the basic rack plus the front wind deflector and 3 bike racks.

Let's talk about what you might want. All or just the rack.

I don't think an R53 rack will work on an R56

The yakima.com site says both 2005 and 2011 hardtops would use the same parts.

A Yakima rack may be compatible between 2005 and 2011, but the factory rack definitely is not.
