Nope, looks pretty normal to me for a car with stock suspension components.  Do a search on this site for 'sway bar', the description will tell you how the installation of a sway bar will affect the handling of your mini.  If you want a car that corners absolutely flat as possible, then install race springs (cones), stiffer shocks and front/rear sway bars, knowing that ride quality(?!) will suffer.

I have read that a rear sway bar helps a lot more than a front one on a Mini so if you decide to fit them fit a rear one first and see if that helps.
