When BMW launched the E65, the important thing that BMW stated again and again was how rare it was to have BMW release a brand new engine alongside a brand new model (the 4.4 Valvetronic V8, in this case). It is not quite as rare as BMW claim but look at the fact that the E60 first came with the same straight-sixes as before, the E46 came with the same 2.5 and 2.8 liter engines, the X5, the Z4, X3, etc.
