Hi folks, first post.

Just scanned some of the chats but would like to know and understand the codes people are using, such as, R55 etc.

Picking up my newish Mini today. Can’t wait.

Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on your new car.

The codes are BMWs internal codes for the different models, so off the top of my head:
1st gen:
R50 - One/Cooper
R53 - Cooper S
R52 - Convertible

2nd gen:
R55 - Clubman
R56 - Cooper/Cooper S
R57 - Convertible
R58 - Roadster
R59 - Coupe
R60 - Countryman
R61 - Paceman

3rd gen:
F54 - Clubman
F55 - 5dr
F56 - 3dr
F57 - Convertible
F60 - Countryman

So if your Cooper SD is a 3dr it's an F56, 5dr an F55 etc.

An R58 is a Coupé and an R59 is the Roadster.
