Cooper (R52)

Description

The MINI Cooper R52 Convertible was a specific model within the MINI Cooper lineup. Produced from 2004 to 2008, it was the convertible version of the first-generation new MINI introduced by BMW.

The R52 Convertible retained the iconic design elements of the MINI Cooper but offered an open-top driving experience. Its fabric roof could be electrically folded down, allowing for a quick transition between a closed car and a convertible.

The car's design reflected the compact, retro-inspired styling that the MINI brand was known for. It was available in various trims, including the Cooper and Cooper S versions, with different engine options.

The Cooper version typically featured a naturally aspirated 1.6-liter inline-four engine, while the more performance-oriented Cooper S came with a supercharged version of the same engine. Both versions were front-wheel drive and offered either manual or automatic transmissions.

Inside, the R52 Convertible had a unique interior layout, maintaining the circular theme and quirky design elements that were characteristic of MINI Coopers. It provided a surprising amount of space for a compact car and offered customization options to suit individual tastes.

The R52 Convertible was well-received for its nimble handling, go-kart-like driving dynamics, and its ability to offer an enjoyable driving experience with the added fun of top-down motoring.

While the R52 Convertible is no longer in production, it remains a beloved model among MINI enthusiasts and collectors, appreciated for its distinctive design and spirited driving characteristics.

Pricing

At present, our inability to furnish pricing online stems from the dynamic nature of global economics, which has led to substantial fluctuations in the costs of parts and materials on a day-to-day basis. The intricate interplay of market forces, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical factors has rendered pricing incredibly volatile, making it challenging to provide accurate and up-to-date figures in real-time.

As we remain committed to offering fair and transparent pricing to our customers, we find it prudent to ensure that any pricing information reflects the current market reality, hence our decision to refrain from online pricing until we can reliably provide figures that align with the ongoing fluctuations in the global economy.
