I mention the specific years because those were the last of the R53 model with the supercharger. They did make the 2007 convertable S with the same engine as well. I'm in Burbank so if you ever want to check mine out for a comparison, just let me know.
Great suggestion, but I already have one! It has the full JCW package: supercharger upgrade to 200hp, suspension, front shock tower brace, and exhaust. With sticky Kumho tires, its a quick and fun car.
