Don't know about the rest of you but BMW, and BMW M, has been for quite some time the upscale brand of the masses.

It is the Louis Vuitton handbag purchased by middle class women the world over. It is not the Hermes bag. Rolex and Tag Heuer are good examples, as they both have high-end components but are priced accessible to a focused middle income person and they have high accessibility.

I talk about this because M ultimately moved mass-market. The S55 engine sounds wonderful and I have no problem by it being built in a plant that knows a thing or two about building quality, mass-produced turbo engines.

Hey, perhaps it will have less issues than some of the prior early-produced M engines did
