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.
Eh...the Mini only has one turbo doesn't it?

Anyway, this is a brand-new engine right? Or is it the same one found in the cooking Peugeot 206 models?
