BMW looked on it with derision because it was designed by Chrysler and was acquired when they bought MINI. They didn't like it and said it had lousy fuel economy, which it kinda does. However, the newer Prince motor designed by Peugeot, has shown to have all sorts of issues. I would take the lump any day.

Here are a few posts with tons of info on the Tritec from a member who worked on the development of the engine with Chrysler and Rover/MINI.

Hi MiniTigger,
I am sorry I am late to your party, but wanted to let you know, you have the best year Gen 1 Mini S out there and chrono pac is my only required option on my keeper Minis.
Strut braces are important, so don't wait too long before getting them!
Congrats on your buy!
