Its the drain tubes are clogged or debris right at the connection from the sunroof to the drains and the water overflows and drip down the headliner. Dirt, pin needles, bark...etc can get in there over time.
Open up the sunroof and clean the front and rear tube drain. You might want to check under the headliner and make sure the tubes are attached afterwards, if you clean out the sunroof side and the tubes are disconnected it will drain water into your MINI and may cause electrical problems with the BCW in the lower kick panel.
