Mini JCW is a nice car, but the Traction control is violent on them and put me right off it. My brother had one for a while as a commute car - great and nippy fun. But traction control was forever kicking in and almost like fuel cut when it does. Traction control was way too agreesive and in your face. But apparantly after he sold it found out there is a remap that can take care of this.
ST2/ST3 nice car and trim and just a remap makes them a proper quick road car. The new leon Cupra's look well hard as well.
If you looking for something a little more subbtle and grown up then as well as BMW, the Audi Sline 2.0T FSI's 200bhp as standard and with a simple remap and your into approx 250bhp with no lag and lots of grunt.
