The twin-scroll-turbo is almost the same design as bi-turbo N54 engine from 335i . So: no turbo lag.

Yes, the new 1.6L engine is a cooperation project with PSA.

But mind that BMW AG was fully responsible for engine engineering & development, while PSA Peugeot Citroen was only responsible for manufacturing, purchasing & logistics.
