    Apparently and they'll be developed by BMW Motorrad, and turbo charged ... but it's not confirmed :

    Not to mention a 2 litre diesel engine for the MINI, and potentially a 1.8 turbo Cooper S engine with 240bhp, you can only imagine what the JCW version of that will put out powerwise :)

    Won't be the first three cylinder engine they've built, though - the K750 motorcycle has one.
