Agreed with everything you said, BMW designed this engine with power / efficiency in mind; hence why with the current fueling system it is not the best of a platform for great power levels i.e. (600 WHP+). Not that many are looking for that power level but I am sure someone or some company would love to do it, it is how eventually every other platform developed (with a lot of experimentation, (standalone ecu's, different fueling options and so on and so on). If the new m5 is DI, the new 650 is DI and probably the next M3 will be DI, then clearly there is something different in the design of those engines and the fuel pumps as I am sure BMW will not make the mistake of recurring HPFP failures again...
Not thread jacking, we are just discussing fueling... btw this thread doesn't seem to be going anywhere after so long of a silence. I would be very surprised if something even semi-magical came out of all of this.
