OOOOOk, I bought the autosock(size X20) this morning and looks like they fit well!!

I will post how they perform as soon as I'll try them on the snow.

I wish there was a local MINI Dealership, like our Honda, Subaru, Mazada and VW.

SO, Autosock worked very good on the snow, although you got to be very careful because they are very fragile and they dont like gravel, bare concrete or slush in fact I put them on at he last possible moment, when I was in a 4 inch compact snow and I didn't have any more grip on my summer tires. It took me about 1 minute to put them on and maybe 5 seconds to take them off after my snow-ride in Oregon. I really enjoyed them because you don't even notice that you have them around your tires.

Here a few pics:

Nice. They should make alloy rims that look like that. 
You should have been able to have a lot of fun with only installing them on the front wheels? :-)
