squirrel, if older, same part# small CIMs can be subbed in without the new ones being obtained new, then I would assume that the BB motors of the right type can also be. It's a one-to-one replacement, as in, if for any reason, you don't like a motor, you can substitute another motor of the same type (or rather, part number).

I'm not on the GDC, though, and this is also not the official Q&A.
