Second generation of [[BMW]]-developed Mini, with cheeky looks retained but an all-new car. Slightly larger: 60 mm longer than predecessor. R55 denotes Clubman—long-wheelbase estate version, with rear door on right-hand side of car and barn doors at rear; R56 is standard three-door; R57 the convertible. Wonderfully balanced though base models need to be worked hard for performance; John Cooper Works delivers 211 PS and one of the best front-drive cars of the time. Still a fashion item, but BMW knew it was on to a good thing. Larger diesel from 2011. | + | '''Mini (R55/R56/R57). 2006–14 (prod. 1,041,412). 3-door saloon, 5-door estate, 2-door convertible.
