I think its just the offset. They have around a +40 offset. I called tire rack about it awhile ago and I was told the centerbore was the same.

it's the centerbore. the centerbore on a mini is like 1 or 2mm smaller than an e30. same 4x100 bolt pattern, but different centerbore.

trust me, i tried to put mini wheels on my car when we got our first mini here.

edit:
mini centerbore is 56.1
e30 centerbore is 57.1
