The intake off should not make your car not run unless you sucked in a chicken or something. Sounds more serious. Does it even turn over... does the engine crank?

I would call MINI assistance for a tow.
While waiting for the tow truck to arrive you should delete your post noting that you drove w/ basically no air filter for 50 miles. Just to cover your butt, just in case.
I've heard of some guys running the 1/4 mile with air filters removed. They risk getting a minimal amount of debris into the engine. BUT, there's always the chance that something really bad is going to get in.
