catpat8000, mkoesel:
I have debated mkoesel pretty vigorously on the reason for BMW Ms change from NA to FI. I firmly believe it is all about cost. Fleet averages are what matter from an economics punishment by any government. For tax purposes in many countries displacement is also a big factor. What surprises me quite a bit it that it appears that the S55 block is totally novel in the new M3/4 pretty heavily cutting into the coast savings there. Nonetheless, there is still going to be some significant engine commonality.
