I had a bit of disappointment today when my new hitch arrived - it was not the correct model for my car.
In retrospect, I looked back at the ordering page and found that it was my mistake but I could see why. I searched for a hitch for a Mini-S R53 and it took me to a 1001 which is for a non-S R50. The model numbers for the hitches and the cars they match up with were at the very bottom of the page, which I didn't see when ordering. It would have been very helpful if the drop-down menu had not just the hitch model number (1003) but the car model as well (R50, R53...) to help avoid this confusion.
It cost me return shipping and another week or more of wait. Not fun.

Spin On Oil Filter Conversion Kit for MINI Cooper F55/6
Category:MINI Performance Parts Posted:08-07-2015 02:00 PM Views: 3526
Synopsis: Explore your options!
If you just don't want to deal with sourcing and keeping OEM MINI oil
filters on hand or want the performance benefits, ease of installation,
cleaner install and performance of a traditional canister/spin on type
oil filter, this Spin On Oil Filter Conversion Kit for MINI F55/F56 is going to impress you. Features a black, hard
coat anodize (Diamondyze). During a 3 week test period, monitoring oil
pressure and oil temperature and other engine vitals the only change
from stock noted was a 5 degree F reduction in oil operating
temperature. There were no issues with fit or access and oil filter
changes will follow the same process as stock (utilizing the trap door
provided in the under pan). Includes KN oil filter part #PS-1008 which
is easily sourced from any KN dealer when a replacement is needed.
No longer do you have to be tied to the dealer for your oil changes
because your local shop doesn't carry the Mini-specific filter element
or the special housing items needed. No longer do you have to worry
about cracking the plastic cap, or even worse the plastic housing. This
installation requires no cutting, or drilling and is totally reversible,
but once installed the adapter remains in place allowing the use of
readily available spin-on filters from numerous national vendors. And
your filter threads onto a CNC machined aerospace aluminum housing not
some flimsy plastic housing. Full color installation instructions and a
compatible K&N spin-on filter are included.
