For your 2005 Mini Cooper S with the panoramic roof, I recommend the Thule roof rack. It is made of the following parts:

Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Silver - 47" Long - Qty 2 # TH711200 (or # TH711220 for black)
Rapid Traverse Feet for Thule Crossbars - Naked Roof - Qty 4 # TH480R
Fit Kit for Thule Traverse Roof Rack Feet - 1366 # THKIT1366

I've attached a photo that shows this roof rack installed on a similar Mini Cooper S with the panoramic roof.
