Smile New Mini Owner Here...

Going to be picking up my Mini Cooper S next Tuesday (cant wait) and was wondering wether it is the 170bhp or 163bhp model. It was registered 28/07/04 and need help finding this out.

Thank you

Hello and welcome to MCUK! Congrats on your new MINI, I bet you cannot wait to collect it.

Registered when it was makes it a '04 plate right? If that is the case it'd be a 163bhp as the 170bhp was from models '54-'06.

Is the chrome trim around the front grill completely smooth or ridged? If smooth, it's a facelift and therefore 170bhp.

I believe it is the facelift model which will mean that it has 170bhp.

Facelift was released in July 2004 so yours could well be, my old JCW was a facelift built in July 04 but registered in September. Have seen a few 04 plate facelifts.
