If you take a close look at the second article, about the E92M3 and the S65 you would found and nice pic showing which engine the Sport Auto would prefer.
Thank you

I understand the comment on the engine to be a comment related to production costs, is that a correct understanding of the text? (since you are German and probably get the meaning of the sentence better than I do).

And you refer to the picture where they say they will miss the S65, right? Sure the S55 will be a quite different engine and just as the F10 V8 differs from the E60 V10 so will the S55 from the S65. The sound and induction noise will be different.

It's not uncommon to have a good bye article, just see the thread about how Autosport says good bye to the V8 in Formula 1 and how some concerns regarding the V6 are raised there: http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=915317
