Going to move you to the Stock Problems/Issues area.
1611 is a transmission module issue if I remember correctly but can be something as simple as the battery cable not having a good connection. How many miles on the car? How old is the battery? Have you had the battery tested?

Check all your battery connections as well as how many volts you are pushing. Should be 13.5 volts if the alternator is working correctly. When there are weak batteries the MINI will throw some crazy codes.

OK you have good voltage but what made the battery drain would now be logical to sort out. The dead battery could have thrown the code.
Have you cleared the code and if so has it come back?

i even tried disconnecting the batter for 2hrs to see if would clear and as soon as I started it was on there I thought usually codes took awhile to appear

I think I would do-the-cheap-stuff-first!
Disconnect the battery altogether.
Sandpaper the cables, terminals & ground connection points - don't reconnect them yet.
Find the ground strap by the right side engine mount, take it off & sandpaper it - re-install it tight. This seems to be the critical one.
There are 8 more ground points! There's a list here somewhere but I can't find it.
Re-connect the battery cables tight.
Fingers crossed & start the car.
