Obviously the Cooper is the perfomance model and if you like performance, can afford the extra cost and the insurance, then go for it. The ‘ONE’ badging is the basic model and therefore bland to some people. But the BMW Mini is a great little car in all variations ….. but as you say, it’s all about having the readies ……
PS … if I was buying … I would go for the kudos of that COOPER badge!

Hi,
I’ve had a Cooper for a while now and I would suggest buying a Mini One that looks close to a Cooper as possible and then following this piece of advice. The only difference beyond trim levels such as wheels, body kit etc between the One anc the Cooper is the engine and they are basically exactly the same… Here comes the Science - the engine differences are between the management system (the computer brain bit) and the exhaust (though the exhaust is only a minor part, helps give a fruitier sound and a little better response when you accelerate). You can now buy a gadget called a ‘Bluefin’ from for about £300 which plugs in under the dash and will re-programme the engine management system to the Cooper settings so hey preston your MINI One starts acting like a Cooper. The best thing is that you can do this back and forward without BMW detecting so your warranty and the TLC servicing package are unaffected…this is a cheap way to get yourself a Cooper for this price of a One - hope this helps!
