About the 2004 MINI Cooper Convertible

The R52 MINI Cooper Convertible marked BMW's bold entry into the drop-top small car segment, building on the phenomenal success of the reborn hardtop. Launched in 2004, this wasn't just a chopped Cooper, it featured a fully engineered soft-top mechanism that maintained the car's structural integrity and go-kart handling characteristics. The 115-hp 1.6-liter four-cylinder delivered spirited performance, while the Cooper S variant bumped power to 168 hp with its supercharged engine. What makes these collectible today is their role as the last traditionally-sized MINIs before the brand's inevitable growth spurt. Clean examples, particularly Cooper S models with manual transmissions, are increasingly sought after by enthusiasts who appreciate the pure, undiluted MINI experience. The convertible's rarity compared to hardtops, especially in desirable colors like British Racing Green, adds to their appeal among collectors seeking authentic BMW-era MINI heritage.
