MINI Convertible F57 Generations Guide Malaysia
R57 (2008–2015): 2nd gen Convertible on older platform — N-series engines, older 6-speed auto, avoid for used purchase. F57 (2016–present): 3rd gen on BMW UKL platform with B38/B48 and Getrag DCT. The F57 roof design is more robust than R57. In Malaysia, F57 is a rare but desirable choice for open-air driving around Putrajaya and coastal highways.
