Do you frequently travel over rough pavement? My friend used to get them all the time on his MR2 with fairly low profile tires. Luckily, he had road hazard. I haven't heard of many MINI's getting them though.

Impact damage. Fix? Replacement of the tire. It's recommended to replace them sooner than later, because there's a good chance these will blow out.
