Yeah - that's it really - I understand how the world works and know everyone is at it, but I was just a bit taken aback with a peugeot dealer saying on a public forum (local forum for the town I live in) that BMW use peugeot engines in their cars, and specifically mentions the mini to differentiate between a BMW and a mini.

They used the 1.4 Toyota lump from the Yaris in the old Mini One D, but I believe it's a 1.6 PSA-derived engine in the current generation of Minis.
