R and # represnt?

Hey all I'm new to the Mini Scene!
So what do the example R56 mean..
I have a 2009 cooper s so the r and number mean?
I came from the Audi Family and I new those codes or generations and
engine #'s and the differences but I'm new to the Mini..
Little Help!

R50 Hatch 06/2001-11/2006
R52 Convertible 06/2005-02/2009
