So, instead of seeing the S55 as a case of breaking the tradition of BMW M engines origin, it's the other way round. The S65 and S85 were the two engines that broke with previous BMW M engine origin. They are the ones that stand out as truly unique and breaking the tradition. The S55 (and S63) are once again back to "based on BMW AG engine" tradition for M GmbH. |
ya i wasn't 100% sure on the E46. in my statement i was talking about E46, E90, and E60. guess i was wrong on the E46 part.
