what does the owners manual say ? I don't think any amount of ethanol is good for an engine so I go with premium that has no ethanol , if they offered it in a lower octane I would buy that but they don't , all gas is clean and brand names probably have detergents and what not to perform better

E-10 is cause zero problems with your Mini Cooper. Run the fuel grade that is recommended by the manufacturer. That information is contained in the owner's manual.
