    I have an R56S 2008 model, but unfortunately i don't know if this model is called as a N14 or N16 or N18?

    Just in case you didn't know where your model fell in the list above, you would have an N14 engine. An easy way to tell, is by looking at the engine. If you open the hood and are able to see the spark plug port and wires, and if you have a MINI logo between the Spark plugs and air box, that's an N14. The N18 has a cover over the engine with a MINI logo on it, that surrounds the oil cap. The cover also blocks you from seeing the spark plug ports and wires, unless you take it off. The differences between the 2 engines are significant, but those are two easy ways to tell the two apart. I attached a picture of the N18 engine, so you can see what it looks like. Hope this helps.
