Is 'R56' just to designate the 2007 model?

Nice cars. What does R56 mean?

R56 is just the model designation for the 07 Cooper S. Like AP1 for the 2000-2003 S2000's.

nice...
I have an '04 Mini Cooper S for my beater/daily driver, it's a ton of fun (especially for fwd), but it doesn't compare to takin my berlina out for a spin.

Cool black on cream! I love those cars, very original and classy. I'll always remember a guy in Monte Carlo driving a original mini while smoking a huge cigar wearing a suit - he made all those Rollses and Bentleys look silly. The new one has that same sort of advantage over other cars in it's class and above. Nice
