As reported in the March edition of Australian Wheels magazine:

"In 2005, BMW and Peugeot will begin manufacturing a new range of small petrol engines to be shared between the two companies. The all-new alloy fours (ranging from 1.2 to 1.8 litres) are destined for Peugeot 207s and 307s, Citroen C2s and C3s and the Mini. BMW is said to have been a primary force behind the project, as it is reportedly unhappy about sourcing Mini engines from a former Chrysler facility, now owned by arch-nemesis, Mercedes-Benz"
