Which BMW engine corresponds to the Peugeot 1.6T engine?

The Peugeot 1.6T engine corresponds to BMW's N12, N13, N14, N16, and N18 series engines, which are used in BMW 1 Series, 3 Series, and MINI models. Among them, the THP high-power version shares identical technology with BMW, while the standard version has slight differences in VANOS technology. Introduction to engines: An engine (Engine, motor) is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (such as gasoline engines), external combustion engines (such as Stirling engines, steam engines), and electric motors. Engine structure: The engine block serves as the framework of the engine and provides the mounting foundation for all its mechanisms and systems. It houses all major components and accessories, bearing various loads. Therefore, the block must possess sufficient strength and rigidity. The block assembly mainly consists of components such as the cylinder block, cylinder liner, cylinder head, and cylinder gasket.

I've researched this before. Actually, the 1.6T engine used by Peugeot was co-developed with BMW as part of the Prince engine series. Back in 2002, the two companies signed a cooperation agreement specifically to reduce R&D costs. BMW initially used it in the MINI Cooper S, with the model code N13, and later the same engine was employed in BMW 1 Series models like the 116i and 118i. On the Peugeot-Citroën side, it was installed in popular models like the 308 and 3008. Later, BMW upgraded to the B38 three-cylinder engine, but the earlier N13 was indeed of the same origin as Peugeot's EP6 - they even shared the turbocharger and direct injection system. It can be considered a representative example of German-French hybrid technology.

From a technical perspective, this 1.6T engine is essentially the twin brother of BMW's N13. The twin-scroll turbocharging design is BMW's specialty, while both engines share direct fuel injection and variable valve systems. I've disassembled the engine cover of a Peugeot 308, and the intake/exhaust layout inside is nearly identical to that of a MINI Cooper S. Even common minor issues are similar, such as valve cover oil leaks. BMW's tuning is slightly more aggressive, with the original version producing 184 horsepower, while Peugeot tunes it to around 165 horsepower. However, with an upgraded intercooler and an ECU remap, the power gap can be easily eliminated.

Simply put, the BMW N13 engine was installed in three main models: the most iconic being the MINI Cooper S with chassis code R56, followed by the entry-level F20/F21 1 Series, with the 116i post-2011 being particularly common. Peugeot had a wider range of models using the same platform engine, including the 308GTi, 3008, and the RCZ sports car. Once at a repair shop, I saw a wrecked car with a BMW N13 label in the engine bay, but the owner claimed it was a Peugeot 408, showing how interchangeable the parts were. Even now in the used car market, engine components from these two brands can still be swapped.
