| They are BMWs internal codes for the cars like you get the E codes (E36?) used on various forums and car mags to describe the version of the M3s etc R50 is ONE (90bhp), R52 is Cooper (115bhp) and R53 is the S (163-170bhp) I believe the R51 is the designation for the ONE Desiel The new model is the R56? Happy to be corrected though. This is the most unprofessional bit of site management I have seen since I was banned from a certain other site...at least they had the excuse that they were enthusiasts who had strong views and not professionals paid to keep thier cool! |

| Nearly! R50 is the One/Cooper Hardtops R53 is the Cooper S Hardtop R52 is the Convertible (all models) R56 is the 2nd Generation (all models) R55 is the forthcoming Traveller/Clubman Rxx is a Rover project numbering code, interesting that BMW kept it for the R55/56  |
