A drivetrain is available and I'm shopping for a new modern transplant for the Neo914. It's 1.6L, not supercharged, and I know BMW owns the company. Let me know your thoughts and knowledge...

My Mini (not an S) has a fantastic little motor in it. Not too much torque, but it loves to rev and the power is sweet near the top end. My friend has an S and his car is QUICK.
I'm not sure what you are asking, because mechanically I have no idea if you could transplant a Mini motor into a 914, but from a drivability standpoint I think that alot of it's balance comes from a well mated motor/tranny combo. |
