Last year there were 2 sizes of CIMS, this year only 1. You can't use the 3" (the minibike motor) this year because they were not COTS, they were supplied only as part of the kit on a one-time basis. You or anyone else can buy a 2.5" from IFI.
While you could read into <R58> that no motors from previous years can be used except as spares, the text in <R59> says that up to two 2.5" CIM motors may be used in addition to those in the KoP. It doesn't say that these two motors must be newly purchased. (They will have to be treated as purchases in your bill of material accounting.)
