I have, but chirping is nothing to glorify. it just signifies that there is either not enough weight to hurl the mini from 2nd to third or the tread and/or airpressure are incorrect for that style of driving.

On a full-on 0-100 run with the ASC off I can do it every time, just a tiny chirp though.
My MCS is bone stock except for a K&N panel filter which adds 3HP if I'm lucky. I keep the fronts at 38 and rear at 34 for best handling, not best off-the-line acceleration grip.
