what engine do I have?

[Ron Wendt]

Its a 2007 convertible, from the VIN looks like engine code W10

From reading, I saw where in 2007 Mini changed to the DOHC engine. But then read somewhere except for 2007 convertibles. Looking at the top of the engine, it does not look like a DOHC but then there is allot of stuff on top so I can't be sure

Help!

When you open the hood do the headlights go up with the hood ?

If so you have the first gen engine

Convertibles where 1st gen through 2008 so you should have the 1st gen engine.

[Ron Wendt]

ok definitely have the first gen engine. Now is this engine considerd a R50 or R52?

Is it an S or not ?

[Ron Wendt]
