I can't recommend you use these as such because they're not listed for the car at all but for Porsche applications, they work in my car better than BKR7EIX's so far, make of that what you will.

The electrode gap variation was varied so I (later) cleaned them with a stiff plastic brush and set them 'correctly' (imo) to 0.7mm (advised by a trusted tuning firm) to keep as 'spares'. Gaps ranging from 0.5mm to 1.0mm; can't be right, surely?

That all depends on what you do with your Mini, and of course your budget, if your Mini is your daily driver and you rely and trust your dealer (they know best!) then you may as well stop reading now, if on the other hand your Mini is your daily driver come weekend warrior, or is just your weekend warrior, and you do your maintenance yourself then read on.
