I wouldn't say it is old news....BMW builds the best engines. The current M engines make the same power / liter (roughly) as the McLaren F1.....

Big displacement normally aspirated engines with 100+ hp / liter is where BMW has few rivals, in fact, I can only think of Ferrari. Honda makes awesome small displacement engines....but big'uns...BMW rule.

Big displacement engines like the AMGs are nice but boring. You have to know what you are doing to squeeze 100 hp+ / liter.
