He believed that BMW was taking a more 'feminine' route by going with the smaller engines. He talked about how Mercedes' AMG division has these big powerful engines and that even though BMW is more about driving performance, it shouldn't shy away from using big powerful engines.

What are your thoughts on this matter?

Remind him that F1 cars have 2.4 liter V8 engines...
