Caveats and conflicts (2)

Row says R5x so generation is ambiguous. Manuals are 2007-2010 compilations and 2009 ALLDATA.
JCW not separately listed; assumed same as S, not stated.

Service manual. BMW MINI repair manual 2007-2010 manufacturer designation chart lists 'GS6-53BG Getrag G253 R56' (N14); ALLDATA R56 doc lists R55/R56 Cooper S Getrag GS6-53BG (G253). [link]
Service manual. ALLDATA 2009 MINI Cooper S (R56): 'R55 / R56 Cooper S Getrag GS6-53BG (G253)'. [link]
