I've just bought this Specialized bike with brake and gear cables hidden in the downtube but exposed under the BB. The downtube is wider and flanged at the BB. I've never fitted a Bafang/Tongsheng motor. Do those who have think there will be enough clearance between the motor body and BB when it is fitted? The alternate is to go for a rear hub motor.

Bafang BBS should be OK but do post some close up pictures of the bottom bracket/ chainring area to be sure.

It's all good. I fitted the bbs01 to a frame like this before.
