@ cackersThey're not BMW engines though!
The mk1 'new Mini' was a Chrysler/Rover designed engine (the same engine as a PT Cruiser), the mk2 has an engine developed jointly by BMW & PSA (so it's at least 50% French; it's used in the Peugeot 207 & Citroen C4)
The only other Bimmer with a 4 pot engine is the 1 series, and it's a totally different block.
The new Mini is owned by BMW, and is priced at BMW levels, but doesn't share many components if any at all.
@ Vipros - that is a good list!
