There are a few aero kits around, look for DA MINI on the QLD clubMINI site.

Lol! This is why the Minis have a reputation as not being a "true BMW". They are a strong little bus, and the suspension is derived from the much applauded 3 series so handling is a treat, but the interior fit leaves alot to be desired. Most BMWs simply don't have the rattles and squeaks of the Mini.

I've personally tweaked mine (some extra sound deadening, and foam weather strips elsewhere. But you hardly notice it over the pod intake filter and open exhaust at 6.5k revs
