See this thread. Same question.

JCWs are a little different from 05 on, so you may want to do a little reading up on the differences. Got rid of an 04 S for a 06 JCW and I love it.

I would look at this article to begin with:
http://www.motoringfile.com/mini-r50r53-buyers-guide/

. . . and as noted in there and many other threads on here, focus on '05s or newer due to the revised gearing.
