Newbie question - Sorry

I recently bought a 2009 JCW Hardtop for myself and a 2012 White Silver Cooper S for my wife.

So what are those models? R56's or something else?

I apologize for the classic newbie questions.

Im loving these Minis, coming from a VW and Nissan 350Z background, this is going to be a fun ride...

Thanks in advance.

in my 2008 cooper s the oil filter is a kind of pain to get to. Not sure if it is in the same place as yours. But mine is under a hose that you need to move out of the way. Kind of hard to find. On the right side of the engine below some hoses.
