Basil - I was also concerned about weight and if it changes the aerodynamics of the car..., so I would assume the same for the MINI.

The way I look at it is that, cutting a big hole in the roof and adding a couple of heavy pains of glass has to not only add weight to the car but also affect the rigidity of the chassis. For reasons such as these I am staying well clear of a sunroof. It does feel nice inside the car with the sunroof, but to me adding anything that could possibly affect the superb handling of the car is a risk not worth taking.
