No, you must use an R56 glass.

Also you need to find a glass that has the proper sensor if you have rain sensing wipers.

In case you're looking at just Mini branded windshields, we get other brands here that you may want to look into. The brands that I can think of are PPG and Pilkington. I've personally used Pilkington as well as Mini branded windshields - both are good.
