Chassis Codes

The new Mini is known by several codes that differentiate the different body types. We've grouped them into two main groups; the 2002-06 cars we call the R53 cars. (We had to choose a code, so we picked the Cooper S, sportiest of the bunch.) The 2007-2013 cars are the R56 cars. All cars of the same group share body panels, suspension details, and lots more.

R50 - 2002-06 Cooper Coupe

R52 - 2005-08 Convertible (regular and S)

R53 - 2002-06 Cooper S Coupe

R55 - 2008-2014 Clubman and Clubman S

R56 - 2007-2013 Cooper and Cooper S Coupe

R58 - 2012+ Coupy
