Design, development and variant notes
The N13 is BMW's designation for a version of the Prince four-cylinder family developed with PSA. Related MINI engines use different N12, N14, N16 and N18 designations and specifications.
The family design described by Wikipedia includes an aluminium bedplate crankcase, a timing chain and on-demand cooling. Higher-output versions use direct injection and a twin-scroll turbocharger; verify equipment for the particular code.
