Brake Pads and Rotors
#2
Any of the listed vendors would be fine, just see the directory.

Most do sell stock pads and rotors for your older MINI.
Your dealership as well has rotors and stock OEM pads but the pads will dust a bit more.
Hawk pads are a nice upgrade from stock pads.
Basic rotors work fine, some lack a finished surface and can rust quickly.
Mostly a cosmetic problem.
It's usually good to upgrade brake fluid when you change rotors and pads.
This can raise the temperature the fluid boils at to help reduce brake fade with repeated high speed stops.
