R-fifty WHAT?

MINI Cooper models are categorized using the letter R or F and so 2 digits. This is the chassis code format that BMW uses. In that location are some inconsistencies merely for the most part they are pretty intuitive. Generation i and 2 MINIs start with the letter "R" while the generation iii MINIs commencement with the letter "F."

Body Styles
Hatchbacks/Hardtops (R50, R53, R56 and F56 models) are divers as any 2 door MINI Cooper that seat 4 and have a 'hatchback' blazon trunk that hinges from the top of the roof and has a boxy overall shape (non to be confused with the R58 Coupe). MINI started referring to this model as the 'Hardtop' when they heavily diversified in 2011.

Four Door Hatchback (F55) was released in 2015 and is basically a stretched Hatchback with two extra rear passenger doors and is sometimes chosen the 4 door hardtop (totally confusing too). It is Non the Clubman which has dual barn doors in the rear.

Convertibles (R52, R57 and F57 models) are the 2 door MINI that seats 4 and have a convertible soft superlative.

Clubman (R55 and F54 models) are the slightly longer than the hardtop MINI model and have either the 3rd door on ane side (or 4 door type released in 2016). Clubman have the dual side hinged rear doors.

Coupe (R58 model) seating for 2 and accept a large glass-filled rear hatch. This is a less common MINI body way but has a distinctive roof line which some describe as a helmet.

Roadsters (R59 model) are similar to the Coupe in that they only seat two but are a convertible.

Countryman (R60 and F60) the larger models that have four doors and more bulky advent. They expect similar a modest SUV and take a taller/fuller trunk than other MINIs. The Countryman is unlike from the Four Door and Clubman models and is often confused with the Clubman. Please review the images carefully to confirm your model.

Paceman (R61) is near identical to the Countryman but just have 2 doors yet seat 4. Paceman are fairly rare and had a short life bridge of just 5 years from 2011 to 2015.

Cooper vs Cooper S:

Within each of these body styles are the base MINI Cooper, Cooper S and JCW (John Cooper Works) model. Generation one 'Southward' models had a supercharged engine while the Generation ii Cooper S models had a Turbo. Generation 3 are also Turbo charged. Information technology's best to either wait at your MINI and study the following.

Exhaust Tips: One of the biggest visual differences are the exhaust tips on the S model. Cooper S models have DUAL center exit tips (aside from the Clubman, Paceman and Countryman which have unmarried tips on either side of the bumper). All Cooper base models have a SINGLE exhaust tip.

Hood Scoop: In general the Cooper Southward models have a hood scoop (functional on the gen1 South and onward merely for styling/continuity for the "S" model). Yet the Countryman and Paceman MINIs did not have hood scoops at all.

Grill: Grill on the Cooper are typically horizontal slats vs the black mesh on the Cooper S model. Many Cooper owners (gen2) upgraded to the black mesh manner grill to make it look like a South. Gen1 Cooper and S model MINIs both came from the factory with horizontal slat grills but the Cooper S model mostly (unless information technology had the Aero body kit) had body colored (unless it had the Chromeline outside package) slats while the Cooper had chrome slats.

Side Markers: MINI will oft use more bones looking black or silver side mark housings with orangish side lights on the base models and Chrome on the South models forth with white or clear side marking lights.

Misc: Base models often have smaller wheels, and volition ofttimes will have the bones flatter seats vs the sport seats. As well, on models that would allow the South model will accept a chrome 'sport' looking gas chapeau cover and of course the Due south models should say "Cooper S" on the back vs just "Cooper". Models with the JCW or John Cooper Works kit should take exterior badges on the front and rear and in some cases in the engine bay or interior door sills, etc.

JCW - John Cooper Works: This optional packet is available in a range of versions from styling to brakes, body kit, functioning and a mish mash of combinations throughout product years. Initially simply targeted as a option for "Southward" models at that place were some years where sure JCW options were offered to base models. In general S models could be optioned UP to a JCW and in that location'due south no definitive answer to what constitutes a JCW for any given model, but in general should have the JCW performance upgrades to be a true JCW, although the wide range of accessories led to some interesting hybrid versions of what a John Cooper Works auto really is.

Generation 1: General Data

The 2002-2006 MINI Cooper (R50) and Cooper S (R53) Hatchback are the beginning original 'new MINI' chosen the Generation 1 or Gen1. Following in 2004 with the R52 Convertible in a base Cooper and Cooper S the gen1 revived the MINI brand and brought it with a enthusiastic and defended post-obit. This was the very first model that kicked off the new BMW owned MINI make and was partially designed and developed before BMW engineering took over then it has some quarks. The design was fine tuned by Frank Stephenson as part of the BMW design squad.

The Cooper model is ordinarily aspirated while the Southward models are supercharged. Upon starting time glance they both expect the same until you discover that the base model hood is a footling flatter and does not accept the hood scoop to funnel air to the intercooler. The Cooper and Cooper S bumpers are different with the Cooper getting a stainless lower grill up til the end of 2004 and the Cooper Southward getting a black mesh grill that was same throughout production- including the Convertible. The Cooper has a single correct side exhaust tip while the S has dual eye tips. The base of operations model has black side mark housings with orangish lights and the Southward model has a chrome side marking with a cherry-red S and clear lights. The base model has a chrome horizontal slat grill and Cooper S models typically had body colored horizontal slat grills unless the chromeline kit or JCW blackness mesh grill was fitted. Base of operations model side skirts are a bit 'flatter' while the S side skirts had a bit more manner.

There was a pregnant interior and pocket-size outside refresh in 2005 that is difficult to observe but the door console arm rests flared inwards more than starting in 2005, the center panel added a picayune storage tray under the east-restriction handle, the nuance went from a v piece to a iii piece dash, larger rear view mirror, the steering wheel went from a 2 spoke to a 3 spoke, and the brake lights adapted the reverse low-cal which was in a light in the lower middle of the bumper. Along with a few other engine related changes the facelift brings a range of welcome upgrades. The headlight design changed a little bit likewise along with the rear view mirror, toggle switch options (DSC vs ASC, etc). There are lots of minor differences between the base of operations and the Due south model which is compounded by the facelift in 2005 but feel free to electronic mail us if you have a specific question virtually any part fitment. The base model saw the most meaning outside changes with new front and rear bumpers but the S model kept the aforementioned bumpers throughout the gen1 product cycle.

Common problems with nearly all models include the failure of the power steering pump fan which causes the power steering pump to neglect which is a $1200 problem and as such MINI did a remember to address information technology. All models volition suffer from front end lower command arm bushings starting to fail at around 70K miles which will leave the car feeling disconnected from the road along with foreign tire wear. It is best to replace those with Powerflex. Rear fixed lower control arm bushings get-go to stretch every bit the suspension settles which causes way more negative camber than intended which also causes premature clothing on the inner rear tires. The ignition coil tends to go wet and corrosion build up on terminal 3 which causes misfires and general poor performance and spark plug wires can deteriorate and fail. A pillar trim/windshield trim tends to fly off at high speeds if a windshield repair was done and new clips were not installed or was re assembled incorrectly. Rider seat occupancy sensors can fail leaving a cerise warning on the dash that a person is in the seat when information technology'south empty.

Issues specific to the supercharged cars include the radiator overflow seam cracking and spilling fluid onto the manifold rut shield. Afterward many years and or miles the supercharger oil can dry up which causes the supercharger to fail at a toll of about $900 plus labor. Other than fairly random issues common with many high mileage cars the gen1 MINI seems to be pretty bullet proof. Timing bondage are pretty durable, engine internals are strong, heads have a ton of abuse.

The W10 base Cooper and W11 R53 Supercharged cars are also pretty bullet proof aside from the steering pump issue due to failure of some power steering fans. They will all need control arm bushings starting at effectually 80K miles. With the R53 getting upwardly there in age the supercharger oil will need to replaced and refreshed around 80K miles to keep it moving- or may demand a new supercharger. Be on the lookout for various small oil leaks from valve embrace gaskets, oil pan gaskets, besides as radiator overflow tanks (R53) that leak at the seam. Of form, carefully review service history for oil changes and basic maintenance such as batteries, ignition coils, wires, and plugs, etc only other than that these cars regularly get into the 180-220K range without any major expenses

Possibly the near common issue with the R50 Cooper base automated models was complete failure of the dreaded CVT transmission. The South models have a dissimilar transmission that is not equally bad just is known to accept problems with the valve body. R50 base of operations model manual manual cars were all 5 speed while the S models got a Getrag 6 speed with a limited skid differential equally option on later years. Transmission transmissions seem pretty durable simply clutches will always exist a outcome with both cars and may simply last xc-110K miles or more than if driven every bit they should.

Most common complaints with this and other MINI models volition, without question be the lack of any reasonable cup holders to hold fifty-fifty the smallest beverage. I'1000 certain that the cup holders were designed and engineered without a unmarried test fit of any sort using anything but a standard can of coke. The genuine MINI cupholder is a consummate afterthought with many design bug. The optional MINI Fini Cupholder is worth considering.

Generation 1: Hatchback

The R53 was released a few months after the first wave of base R50 models were sold in the USA and while there are SOME 2002 models on the market the bulk of the R53'south showtime product run were sold as 2003 models in very tardily 2002.

This model seats 4 and has 2 doors and hatch with a decent corporeality of storage and shares the iconic profile of what most people acquaintance with the MINI brand. Information technology is easiest to tell a base of operations model R50 from the R53 (which was supercharged) by the single exhaust tip on the right side vs dual tips in the centre on the R53. The R53 as well has a hood scoop. The base Cooper R50 and all R52 models likewise had a body colored flat gas lid cover while the S Hatchback had a chrome 'race inspired' encompass. The R53 had chrome side mark lights with a red S and clear lights while the R50 has orangish lights.

Shop for parts for parts and accessories for the 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006 R53 Cooper S Hatchback model here.

The R50 base of operations Cooper is ordinarily aspirated and R53 Cooper Southward Hatchback is supercharged and both have a 4 cylinder engine which was used throughout production. The Cooper engine is a W10 while the Cooper Due south engine is the W11.

The automatic transmission used on the R50 known as the "dreaded CVT" is pretty much garbage and as a upshot these pop up on the used market for super cheap as replacing the transmission (fifty-fifty with a used one) costs more these are now worth. The R53 had the Asian automatic transmission which is too problematic- but not every bit bad as the CVT.

The pre 2005 Base Cooper models had horizontal 'bumper-ettes' accents on the bumpers which were removed when the facelift happened in 2005 which brought a more aggressive and modernistic look. The base R50 models had a 4 slat chrome upper grill which gave it a retro look that MINI was going for. Pre facelift cars likewise had the contrary light in the middle of the bumper while the 2005 and newer models the contrary low-cal was moved to the lower inner brake lite and a optional rear fog light was offered in the rear lower bumper. While the sport seats were a pick for the R50 model the vast majority base models accept the basic seats which accept a flatter seat and side bolsters compared to the standard sport seats in the S model which accept larger bolsters. Also, the R53 had a stainless steel set of pedals vs basic black on the R50. The R53 had the aforementioned bumpers and grill throughout the model range.

The R53 Due south models had a 3 slat trunk colored (or chrome) upper grill which gave it a retro await that MINI was going for. JCW or John Cooper Works models with the JCW/Aero Body Kit have black mesh grills along with the aggressively style front and rear bumpers and side skirts with the top four" painted torso color to make the door panel look 'taller'.

R53 Cooper S models take the sport seats as standard which take deeper side and thigh bolsters compared to the seats in the S model (aka the 'sport' seat).

The R53 models (especially those with NO sunroof) make incredible runway day cars and daily drivers given their gas mileage. Produced in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006 this model is getting to be quite sometime now only still worth every penny. The dollar per grin ratio is insanely expert. Fifty-fifty after being on the route since 2002 these cars however concenter looks at stop lights, parking lots and simply near everywhere they go. These are destined to exist classics in but a few years so be on the lookout for depression mileage cars as nosotros take seem a fair amount of these purchased as weekend cars that but never got out every bit much. They are often either well cared for and pampered or totally abused and modded out by multiple owners with varying levels of taste and budget. You have been warned. In the middle are as well some proficient cars simply in all cases practice your homework and look for service records and general budget.

The R53 model was also offered in a adequately popular JCW or John Cooper Works model which had some very welcome additions and upgrades. Be certain that yous're not paying for the JCW package unless it actually has information technology which would mean it has a numbered badge on the valve cover, argent JCW intercooler cover, slash tips with JCW logo etched, smaller supercharger pulley, tuning software, JCW closed intake housing with JCW logo and a few other details. The JCW was at times offered with or without the red JCW brake calipers and or the JCW/Aero Bodykit,and door sills. On top of that MINI also offered some very rare carbon cobweb interior parts such as the dash, cupholder and shift knob trim band and columns next to the radio.  Carbon fiber shift and ebrake handles were also available. They besides offered  a leather nuance pick also. These option are exceptionally rare and worth seeking out. As of 2018 most all of these parts take been officially discontinued by MINI and are no longer available- including the popular Aero Body Ki.

The R52 "Due south" supercharged and base model model are very stable cars and keep to be a great value for those looking for a convertible that handles like a go-kart. The convertibles don't tend to get run into the higher mileage range as they tend to be purchased as 2nd or weekend cars. They tend to be well cared for every bit the buyers are typically a flake more than mature and near buyers looking for a motorcar to modify and race will purchase a hatchback over a convertible. Just keep an heart out for proper service history, and the bug described in the general Gen1 section agove. Other than that the R52 model is a great car.

Please reference info in a higher place on the R50 and R53 equally much of the information applies to the R52 range as well.

MINI likewise offered this model (more often than not only the Cooper S model) with some or all of the various JCW components equally noted below in the R53 department only we have constitute that most original buyers of a JCW R52 Cooper South would usually 'plunk down' the bucks and get these cars more than or less fully loaded and optioned.

Generation 2: General Information

The 2d generation, which includes the R55, R56, R57, R58, R59, R60 and R61 of the MINI range was a completely new development from the ground up. Aside from door handles, rear view mirrors, pedals, emblems and few other bits there are very few parts that are interchangeable betwixt gen1 and gen2 models. MINI introduced a completely new range of engines, with the South model getting a turbo for the first fourth dimension.

The gen2 Cooper S uses a turbocharged 1.six 4 cylinder engine which started out in 2007 (hatchback R56) with the N14 model engine and was replaced with the N18 engine in 2011 (simply the JCW/ John Cooper Works model kept the N14 into the 2012 production year). The base model has the N12 engine to 2010 and was then replaced with the N16. It'south important to note that gen two "Southward" models are turbocharged while the previous generation "S" models are supercharged. This is i of the near confusing details that many get incorrect.

The Cooper South model will take a hood scoop and dual center exhaust tips while the base model will accept a single tip on the right side. In 2011 MINI made some cosmetic interior and outside changes to the front and rear bumpers (the Southward model got integrated brake ducts as well), front grill mesh design became larger on the S model, brake lights, rear fog lights became more streamlined and integrated into the rear lower grill, center console blueprint and radio/CD player layout, black steering bike and middle panel accents (vs silvery in the pre 2011 range) and a few other very minor changes. The base of operations model R56 typically had black side marker housings with orange lights while the S had Chrome side markers with articulate lights. The base Cooper also has chrome slat grill while the Cooper Southward has a blackness mesh grill from the mill- just are Not interchangeable.

Generation 2: Clubman

The R55 Clubman Cooper and Cooper S Turbo model was MINIs way to explore slightly larger models with a flake more room in the back for passengers, a extra 'suicide' door on the passenger side along with barn doors in the back that gave it a unique look, added storage space and accessibility. By all accounts it was a successful project as it led into the Countryman and Paceman models also as the replacement for the Clubman in the 2015 model year with a even larger F54 Clubman model station wagon-like MINI with four doors. The Clubman continues to exist a sought after model for its unique longer wheelbase and overall styling to the back terminate. From the drivers seat forward it's the aforementioned as the R56, R57 and other Gen2 models (with some minor exceptions) and brought in new buyers to the MINI make that needed just a footling chip more space.

Shop for parts and accessories for the 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 R55 Model MINI Cooper S Turbo Clubman here.

When introduced in 2008 it was not as popular as the archetype hatchback just it yet held its own place in the marketplace. Similar other gen2 models the R55 was available in both a Cooper and Cooper S.

Equally with other similar gen2 models the R55 also had a facelift in 2011 where it received the new front bumper with the brake ducts, refreshed interior with blackness accents vs the silver, newer center console/radio layout and a few other changes including shifting to the N18 engine (again, bated from the JCW which kept the N14 into the 2012 year).

We have plant that the R55 Clubman side door trim and gaskets are decumbent to leak as are the rear barn door gaskets and seals. Replacing these with new parts is way more expensive than information technology should and then get a quote before settling on a buy toll. We have likewise found that the side mirror to body and antenna gaskets crack easily when exposed to the harsh sun and you have to buy whole new mirrors or antenna just to prepare those modest gaskets.

The R55 Clubman Cooper South was as well available in a JCW package which had even larger dual outward mounted exhaust tips, a more aggressive front and rear bumper and side skirts (if the car was spec'd with the JCW body kit) and the other JCW engine and functioning upgrades besides equally the sought after JCW Brembo brakes, JCW interior accents (shift knob, ebrake and steering wheel - if optioned) and the JCW engine mods which include a melody, exhaust, exhaust manifold and few other $.25. Over the year MINI offered variations of the total performance, styling or simply braking kit as well every bit the FULL combination so be enlightened.

Generation two: Hatchback

The 2007-2013 MINI Cooper and Cooper Due south Hatchback model number is "R56" and is the 2nd Generation model that replaced the gen1 hatchback models in 2007 with a completely new motorcar from top to lesser. This model seats four and has 2 doors and hatch with a decent amount of storage and shares the iconic profile of what nearly people associate with the MINI make.

Store for parts and accessories for the 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 R56 Model MINI Cooper S Turbo Hatchback here.

The R56 Cooper S uses a turbocharged 1.half-dozen 4 cylinder engine which started out in 2007 with the N14 model engine and was replaced with the N18 engine in 2011 (but the JCW/ John Cooper Works model kept the N14 into the 2012 production year). The base model has the N12 engine to 2010 and was then replaced with the N16. It'south important to note that gen 2 "S" models are turbocharged while the previous generation "Due south" models are supercharged. This is one of the nigh confusing details that many become wrong.

MINI offered the "Due south" model with a JCW / John Cooper Works package which tin include a wide range of performance, aesthetic or suspension kits as well as can be purchased and installed ala carte. Confirm if a MINI was built with the full JCW kit including intake, body kit, Brembo brakes, steering bike, software, exhaust, manifold, tune, etc or if it just had JCW components added afterward the fact- either ala carte du jour or some variation of the JCW kit MINI offered it it in any given twelvemonth as it changed many times.

Generation 2: Convertible

The R57 Convertible model is the 2nd generation offering from MINI and replaces the popular R52 model with all new styling and engineering that matches the hatchback that was released two years earlier with the R55 Clubman coming in 2008. They must have been slammed at MINI with the release of three major models dorsum to back. The R57 was introduced as 2009 and was sold every bit a base Cooper and Cooper S Turbo model with JCW variants.

Store for parts and accessories for the 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and  2015 R57 model MINI Cooper South Turbo Convertible hither.

The R57 Cooper is normally aspirated while the Cooper Southward uses a turbocharged ane.6 iv cylinder engine which started out in 2009 with the N14 model engine and was replaced with the N18 engine in 2011 (but the JCW/ John Cooper Works model kept the N14 into the 2012 production year). The base Cooper R57 model has the N12 engine to 2010 and was then replaced with the N16.

The R57 Cooper and Cooper S also had a mid bike refresh in 2011 as other gen2 models. This includes front and rear bumpers, interior center console/radio and dash/steering wheel accent colour changed from silver to black. The engine upgrades practical as well (nN14 to N18 on the Southward and N12 to N16 on the base of operations).

The R57 was available in some very unique color combos such as brown exterior and matching acme with tan leather too green with matching top and a few other stunning colour combos.

Run across our notes from the R56 section virtually the JCW packages as they utilize to this model as well. We've found that virtually convertibles tend to be built for 'style' and not performance equally the additional weight of the pinnacle, less rigid chassis and design shift this car more than to a weekend fun car and less of a track car. Finding fully decked out models should be easy though equally the original buyers usually did not mind spending more $$ on these models.

Generation ii: Coupe

The R58 Coupe shows MINIs flexibility with the aforementioned platform that other popular gen2 models were built from and attracts a different buyer than most other models offered. Some may consider it a chip quarky and sales figures follow that management merely it'southward actually quite a cool vehicle. The 2 door, 2 seat design with 'backwards baseball hat' roof design gave information technology a unique flavor. Aside from the interior layout the A pillar frontwards is basically the aforementioned as the R55/6/vii models and the larger hatchback offered a adept corporeality of storage for those that exercise non need a dorsum seat.

Fifty-fifty though this model has relatively depression sales it was yet quite a bonny motorcar with some dandy features that appealed to previous and new MINI owners but it just never took off as it could have. Maybe that is due to low gas prices and the tendency towards small SUV'southward. Who knows.

The R58, like all other MINI models is available in a base Cooper and Cooper South model but being introduced along with the facelift of the R55/6 and R57 models has the newer style front and rear bumpers, interior panel layout and the N18 engine on the Cooper Due south and the N16 on the base of operations Cooper. The same exterior details apply to this as well and so the base model has black side markers and orange lights along with a single right side frazzle while the Turbo S has a hood scoop, chrome side marker housings and articulate lights along with dual centre exhaust tips.

Because this machine was introduced in 2011 forth with the facelift on other gen2 models it has the N18 engine (Cooper S Turbo) and the base model has the N16 engine. Similar other models the S has a blackness mesh grill forth with dual frazzle tips in the center vs the unmarried tip on the right on the base model. Base models have the black side markers and orange lights while the S has the Chrome version with articulate lights.

We've yet to come across any mutual problem areas with these cars aside from the standard issues listed above in the general information department for the gen2 model range.

With other gen2 models the S model was bachelor in a JCW variant so be on the lookout for the large red Brembo brakes, total JCW body kit, John Cooper Works exhaust tips and other features that come along with the JCW package.

Generation two: Roadster

R59-S MINI Cooper S Roadster: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015

The R59 Roadster came out merely a year afterwards the Coupe and brought with it the open top that many MINI owners crave but it in a 2 door, ii seater set for weekend travel and fun. While it  has the same wheelbase every bit the hatchback and convertible, it managed to feel and look smaller. The Roadster is a cute MINI model but tin can sometimes become dislocated with the R57 convertible, given it's a convertible as well but but seats 2 and was not as pop overall. MINI really did a LOT with gen2 platform and the R58 and R59 are examples of what can happen when y'all give a team of designers and engineers the choice to make the most out of a single platform.

R59 Roadsters in the Turbo S model volition all take the more than stable N18 engine while the base models will take the N16 engine. Virtually all other details, weak spots, common problem areas as covered in the R56/7/viii carry over to this model as well with the exception of the convertible roof feature.

While the R59 did not set any sales records information technology remains another great example of what a MINI can practice and await specially proficient with the top downwards, and handle great even with the less rigid chassis that the R58 and R56 models have.

Also bachelor equally a JCW model the R59 is a great MINI for those that like the slightly smaller profile yet want open elevation motoring. These were sold in fairly low numbers then they merely don't come up on the market very frequently and as such demand for this and the R58 may up as fourth dimension goes by.

Generation 2: Countryman

Wow, the R60 took the MINI to a whole new level and stretched the perception of the MINI make beyond what most MINI owners were set up for only based on the sale figures the Countryman was well received and loved for its quirky, yet still MINI design DNA. The larger platform allowed for a truthful 'family' car experience with a higher ride height, four doors and decent sized trunk. Introduced in 2010, it was criticized for not being "MINI" enough merely also praised for what it offered to a range of customers that would otherwise never considered buying a MINI. Information technology remains a sore spot among some MINI enthusiasts only without it MINI would not exist as successful as they are today every bit this model sold very well, although is endlessly confused with the Clubman due to confusing marketing, lack of emblems (which were finally added) and general defoliation of information technology being sold as a MINI Cooper along with all other MINI Cooper models such every bit the Hatchback, Coupe, Clubman, etc.

Once the defoliation of what information technology's called is past the benefits and unique features the Countryman offers brainstorm to bloom. Seating for upwardly to 5 depending on interior layout, along with some industry firsts such every bit the center rail that allows for many MINI accessories such as armrests, cup holders, phone holders and even a tissue box remain popular features. The interior is roomy, admission is easier with the college ride height yet it still handled like a MINI which brought in customers from other brands past the thousands.

The starting time year or so of the R60 Cooper S Turbo up to the end of 2010 were given the N14 engine while the base models got the N12. Both were replaced in 2011 forth with the massive mid model refresh called the "LCI" by the industry brought some changes to the eye console, center speedometer housing, window controls and a few other minor details. Overall this model remains a favorite to many enthusiasts with some taking the high road and lifting them upwardly to brand them appear to be off road ready while utilizing the All4 four bicycle bulldoze organisation that was a beginning for MINI or dropping them closer to the ground with lowering springs and sport pause features like larger rear swaybars. By all accounts the Countryman R60 is a unique MINI that pushes the envelope of what it ways to bulldoze a MINI.

Differences between the base and S turbo model are subtle and so pay attention to the front grill area and notice the blackness mesh vs horizontal slat design along with the side markers and rear exhaust to differentiate the 2. The base model, along with many other MINI models can feel a fleck sluggish off the line due to the lack of power compared the college HP Turbo Cooper Due south models. It's peculiarly noticeable on the R60 Countryman, so consider narrowing your search to the S model.

Also, be on the picket for the JCW model which offers a nice bump in ability with a upgraded exhaust, ecu tune, JCW body kit and a few other nice upgrades. Full optioned the R60 is i of the about luxurious MINIs fabricated and offer a very MINI driving experience with the extra infinite that many young families demand.

Generation 2: Paceman

R61-Due south MINI Cooper S Paceman: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016

Equally MINI had done earlier with other Gen2 models they really wanted to run across how far they could with any given platform and the R61 Paceman was their answer to thechallenge to exercise more with the R60 platform. While the front portion of the R61 Paceman is identical to its big brother well-nigh everything from the drivers seat dorsum and upwards is unique to the Paceman. It too raised a few eyebrows in the MINI community but built a niche for itself as the slightly larger ii door, 4 seater MINI that had the higher ride height and larger interior space of the Countryman. It had the same pattern Deoxyribonucleic acid of other gen2 models and the hunkered down look of the backend gave information technology a more than aggressive look.

As with the R60 model the R61 Paceman is available in a base of operations Cooper with the N16 engine and the turbo S model was only made with the N18 engine, however given their very low production numbers these are very rare compared to other MINI models.

Generation three: Full general Information

The F56 model brought with it the introduction of six all-new engines which were used in various gen3 models (4 gas, and two diesels), two models of a one.2 litre iii-cylinder petrol with either 75 bhp or 102 bhp, a 1.5 litre 3-cylinder petrol with 136 bhp, (BMW B38 engine), a 2.0 litre 4-cylinder petrol (BMW B48 engine) that produces 192 bhp for the Cooper S, and a i.5 litre 3-cylinder diesel fuel (BMW B37 engine) in ii levels of power output: 95 bhp and 116 bhp (Cooper D), and a 2.0 litre turbo-diesel inline-4 (BMW B47 engine) that produces 168 bhp (Cooper SD). These engines are mated with a choice of either a vi-speed manual, a half dozen-speed automated, or a 6-speed sports automated gearbox. Note that some of the engines listed were never sold in the USA.

F54-S MINI Cooper S Clubman: 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022

The generation 2 of the Clubman is a whole new model with features and design details never available before. While information technology replaced the R55 Clubman in 2016 it'southward truly a completely new vehicle featuring iv doors and the familiar rear barn doors but other than that it's a MINI like none other. With wagon-like styling and a lower overall height compared to the bigger Countryman model, the new Clubman seems to hold it's own on the street. Information technology's attracted yet another type of MINI buyer who merely need more infinite than the F55 Four Door, F56 Hatchback or F57 Convertible and like the lower to the ground ride offered vs the Countryman. The F54 is the first MINI offered with power seats. That, along with a comfortable, wider interior space aids in commuter and passenger comfort while still maintaining the familiar MINI treatment and styling.

Offered in a Cooper and Cooper S - both turbo charged, it can be confusing to label one o the other equally a 'turbo' when both are, just the S model has a larger displacement, more power and styling cues that are quite attractive.

The F54 Clubman models are both excellent for growing families or those looking for a slightly larger footprint over the standard hatchback and also prefer the proportions or features over the very similar Four Door Hatchback. All in all the F54 is unique MINI with its own personality.

As this is a relatively newer model we take non seen whatsoever patterns of parts that are failing prematurely. The gen3 model range has proven to be quite sturdy and has been the crusade of some MINI dealers service departments to be scrambling for work. Luckily in that location's a ton of N14, N18 and other Gen1 and Gen2 MINIs on the road to fill up the service bays.

Generation 3: Iv Door Hatchback

F55-S MINI Cooper S 4 Door: 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022

The F55 4 Door Hatchback is a natural progression for the MINI brand every bit information technology brings the range closer to what VW offers in a iv door hatchback Golf game model but with familiar MINI styling and brand values that some buyers seek. Who knows, peradventure that trick VW pulled a few year back has shifted a few buyers towards MINI and based on sales figures it seems to be the case. The F55 fills a void that MINI owners wanted but probable would not say outloud at their local MINI club meeting. Allow'southward face it, at some betoken a MINI is no longer a MINI when its a 'biggie' and some die difficult enthusiasts experience that MINI should be a 2 door hatchback model only just a brand can't stay profitable following that model. MINI knows this which is why they released the F55 Four Door Hardtop to pair with the F56 2 door hardtop and too added other models to distribute evolution and manufacturing costs between the full line of cars. In the instance of BMW it likewise means sharing platforms with their other products such as the 10 serial. It'southward non a bad thing to benefit from this kind of thinking.

The F55 being a gen3 model benefits from lessons learned from the previous generations and while a much larger car overall still has strong MINI Deoxyribonucleic acid and profile merely the added accessibility of the 2 extra rear doors seems to be outselling the 2 door model- which is the opposite of what some would hope for simply buyers wallets are speaking on the showroom flooring.

Cooper base of operations and Cooper S models both have turbos but the S model will have the signature (but not functional) hood scoop, dual eye exhaust tips and the black mesh grill while the base models have the single right side exhaust, chrome slat grill and blackness side marker housings (vs chrome on the South model). Overall the R55 continues to exist a meridian seller for MINI which could get out the future of the 2 door MINI hatchback at risk, however we're sure that from a marketing stand bespeak MINI only tin't exist MINI without a hatchback to anchor the full line. John Cooper would roll over in his grave, every bit would Alex Issagonis.

There are few weak spots on this model but over fourth dimension as these cars start to show their age we will get some updates on what mutual trouble areas to be aware of. Aside from a engine update in 2015 (fairly small-scale), a minor update to the LED lighting arrangement in 2016 at that place have simply been a few changes to the gen3 F55 since it was released in 2015.

Generation iii: Hatchback

F56-Southward MINI Cooper S Hatchback: 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017,2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022

While the R53 and R56 before information technology accept certainly drawn massive amounts of good press and overall thrilling reviews based on treatment and performance the gen3 hatchback model has some big shoes to fill. Buyers of the gen1 and gen2 models may seem apprehensive to leap into this new gen3 platform but over time, many have come around. There's only then much the gen3 offers including the best technology, music, navigation, user interface, operation and dynamics that continue MINI on the acme of the list of best handling hot hatches. The gen3 hatchback, like each model before, grew and piddling in every direction. As crash standards, condom requirements and other variables force manufacturers to put more metal between the driver and those around them cars have simply gotten larger and the F56 model (the showtime of the gen3 models released in 2014) showed this similar no other MINI before it. Some had a hard time calling it a MINI when compared to the R53 and R56 hatchbacks. Others jumped in and bask the new technology, best interior design and condolement levels, MINI handling and highest power ratings and never looked dorsum. The F56 is 98 mm longer, 44 mm wider, and 7 mm taller than the outgoing R56 model, with a 28 mm longer wheelbase and an increase in rails width (+42 mm front and +34 mm rear).

The 3-door F56 base model Mini with an automatic transmission will do 0–60 mph in seven.3 seconds for the ane.5L 3-cylinder gas engine and the Cooper South will do 0-60 in 6.4 seconds with the 2.0L 4-cylinder engine.

The gen3 F series models is anchored with the F56 hatchback and only got larger and larger as extra interior infinite, accessibility and storage were added to create the F55, F54 and F60 models.
