Differences between N13 and N20

I'm interested in learning more about what engine is in my car, a 2013 BMW 116i.

I was reading up on the n20 before taking delivery, but as I understand now; the car actually has a n13 engine.

What are the differences, besides the obvious; like displacement.

Does the n13 have offset piston pin and crank like the n20? Does it have short piston skirts. Does the crank ride in regular bearings? Is the block all-alu? If not, does it utilize the new metal-spray coating technique like in the n20?

Cheers,
Lasse

Some pretty technical stuff you are looking for so I'd say your best bet would be to Google "N13 and N20 Engine Specs" then follow sublinks to drill down to more detailed info if it's available.

But keep us updated about what you find. I would also like to know things like that.
