The new motor is at least half designed by BMW, this time around it's a joint development between BMW and Peugeot/Citroen.

Definately no where near a neon motor. Neons had 2.0l and 2.4l engines. The Tritec is a 1.6l. It was a joint venture between BMW and Chrysler.
The new motor is also a joint venture although this time it's BMW and Peugeot (it will be in I believe the 206).
The new motor is as much a BMW engine as the last one. Either way they were both joint ventures and in no way were they one manufacturer's engine.
Yan, I'll let you know (everyone, actually) how I like mine once it gets here. It's on the water now, so I'm guessing I will be able to pick it up on the 18th of this month. I got the sport and premium packages along w/ some LSD.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.
