Cheapest I saw there was $65 for 4, plus tax and $7 for shipping since they weren't prime. Especially for the Cooper S, you need the OEM filters to keep the fragile engines actually running longer, since they have non-standard filters with higher surface area. Otherwise, you're asking for trouble, especially with the turbo models, since they're not exactly the most reliable cars ever.

And that's only one maintenance part, I can't imagine how you'd do much under the hood of one, you can barely fit a hand between the engine and the rest of the car. Look up images of the mini Cooper S engine bay and you'll know what I mean. Then compare that to, say, a Chevy Aveo. Same size car, same displacement engine, massively easier to work on.
