Stubby spanners are a must, swivel heads are a bonus.
Tap and Die set will always be useful with a Mini.
Get good garage lighting. Corded, battery & headlight.
Grease gun w/ flex head. Your Mini will love you.

And lastly, always keep some petrol handy and clean dirty bits before you put them back together, and some blue Loctite for bolts that can use it.

The must have tool in my opinion is vice grips. It will grip when all else fails.
And in the accessories department the new must have is a BOSE buletooth speaker to place on the dash shelf in front of you so no holes for speakers amazing sound and remove when not in use.
