I've found this link in the past. It's your best bet to get some numbers:
http://www.bmwgroup.com/e/0_0_www_bm...berblick.shtml

I tried to contact MINI to see if they could give me the produced number of my car but they replied they could not give me this information

5101 Roadster made in 2014
By the end of 2014 over 302,000 MINI roadster have been built. I don't know but to me it seems like a nice number.

991 Roadster were made in the first quarter of 2015
By the end of its production life that would have made 303,174 roadster produce... or so (I'm sure the numbers aren't always exact)

Great resource for those annual reports. But I think you might be looking at the wrong numbers.

According to my reading of those reports MINI sells roughly 300,000 cars each year; of which the Roadster was only a small number.

Here are the reports I looked at
Q1 2015
2014 Annual Report
2013 Annual Report
2012 Annual Report

2015 sold 991
2014 sold 5101
2013 sold 9315
2012 sold 9202

For a total Roadster production of 24,609.
Roadster sales did outpace the Coupe.

These world wide numbers appear to be inline with what this site is saying about US sales; 6679 total Roadsters sold in the US through January 2015.
Goodbye Mini Coupe And Mini Roadster, Don’t Let The Door Hit You On The Way Out (that title is harsh...)

With these numbers it is easier to understand why BMW cancelled the Roadster and Coupe.

Sorry for the link dump, that's the IT worker in me coming out

Yes sir, indeed . . .
Obviously I was looking for a quick rundown number all too quickly

We're loving our MINI and find it ideal for our needs and a lot better looking than most of the giant hearse out there . . .

I saw that the new Clubman weighs in at 3,300 pounds! It's a foot longer and half a foot wider than the Gen 2 Clubman. Whoa! Suffice it to say there are not very many JCW Coupes in this country and I'm just glad I have one lol.
