Looking for clues

As stupid as I may sound -
I'm looking to purchase a 2007 Clubman "S".
Back in 2007, while at the Mini dealer having my 04 R53 serviced; I was scoping out the *new* ('07) Clubman S on the showroom floor. I remember it had a hood scoop like the R53. I assume it was supercharged.
Did the 2007 Clubman S come supercharged??? Or is my memory failed.? I cannot seem to find any info/conformation on this.
I'm still wanting an '07 regardless.
Thanks!

Ah!
Now I just came across the 2007 "S" specs. As much to my disappointment - Apparently the 2007 Clubman S were turbo.
I had thought the '07 S models were a kin to the supercharged 1st gen R53 and turbos started in '08.

All Clubman R55 are second generation, so turbo engine. If you “really” want a Clubman, you want an LCI with N18 engine, preferably with a build date after 3/2012.

Thanks @njaremka , .
Seems that you really know your stuff. I'll definitely take your advice!
I'm now researching "how to identify an LCI"

LCI is more or less anything after 2011 in the US.
