I am sure they will. You just have to put them in the right spot and possibly fashion som new brackets.
A lot of times all it takes is time and money.

Find a used one for sale and go measure. The Mini is front wheel drive so no real trans drive shaft in middle so seats could be wider?

Its not only the width consideration when you are thinking about using factory seats.....its the height consideration.

If you are even moderately tall a seat that is too thick (ie: tall) will stick your head above the windshield.
