BMW N16B16A Engine – 1.6L Petrol for MINI Cooper

The BMW N16B16A engine is a 1.6-liter inline-4 naturally aspirated petrol engine designed for the second-generation MINI Cooper range, including R56 hatchback, R57 convertible, and other variants from 2010 to 2015. This engine is part of the BMW-PSA Prince engine family, offering a balance of efficiency, reliability, and everyday performance.

It meets Euro 5 emission standards and was engineered to offer lower maintenance costs while still providing the fun-to-drive MINI experience. Common applications include MINI Cooper One, Cooper base models, and select Clubman and Convertible variants.
