When the power is severely cut by the computer, it is called 'limp mode' where the computer limits the engine output in an attempt to protect the engine from severe damage.

There are many causes that can trigger the limp mode so you need to have the car diagnosed by a shop familiar with MINIs.

Here are some areas that can cause the limp mode:

Serpentine belt slipping
Belt tensioner 
Crank pulley 
Wheel speed sensors
Throttle body

and there are many other potential causes....
