If you have a good engine there is no reason to re-invent it unless forced to do so . . .
For example, the F87 N55 was a great engine, then government restrictions forced the S55 into the F87C . . . and the legend was born.
S55 a fantastic engine but, once again, government restrictions kicked in . . . insert S58, which is an absolute beast.
Soon, the government will say no ICE and we will be playing with battery operated toys that are quick but completely devoid of any character.
Not sure if I am agreeing or disagreeing with you at this point?
Regardless, I was simply pointing out BMW produces some great engines that they can tune to accommodate the model and target audience intended.
