The mini cooper has been around for a while, so it's due for a new update all around. However the 1 Series has just come out. So in essentially, you are buying a newer car, and there are less of them on Ebay, craigslist etc... When you go to sell it a few years down the line, you'll get more money for your car, and of course the name BMW never hurts vs MINI.

The resale value is much better on the Mini Cooper and those that know, know it's a BMW product..............Phil

1 series is older than the current Mini. It is also due to be replaced in 2012, this is the last year for the current model.
