Hi everyone

I am new to this forum. I have a mini cooper 2005 and was wondering how to find its RXX number? Is this the version? My Mini serial number has WMWRC33495TC59XXX. Does it make it an R59?

My main reason for joining is that I have the infamous passenger mat airbag problem and I refuse to give them the $2K that they want for something that they recalled. I am looking at all alternatives.

05, I believe it's an R50 if it's a Cooper, if it's a Cooper S, then it's an R53

It's a regular Cooper. So I'm an R50? BTW, location is Canada.
