Newest Peugeot Sports a MINI Engine... Or Is It The MINI Sports a Peugeot Engine?

Peugeot introduces two new petrol models into its successful 207 range, the 207 SPORT 1.6 16v 120 and the 207 SE 1.6 16v 120. Both models will be powered by a new 1.6 litre 16v petrol engine designed in co-operation with the BMW Group and manufactured for both parties at PSA Peugeot Citroën’s Douvrin manufacturing plant. Already seen in the BMW Group’s Mini Cooper, this engine will replace the current Peugeot 1.6 litre 16v 110 bhp engine in the 207 range.

Not true. This is all lies, BMW is an independent company, they don't work with anyone. Please don't make up such silly rumours.

This isn't a rumour, BMW and peugeot developed the new 1.6 together. Beeing an independant company doesn't mean you can't cooperate with other company's.

Toyota also co-developed a platform for the Citroen C1, Toyota yaris and the peugeot 107 with PSA.
