I've heard this from a very reliable third party. I am just putting it out there for information only. No flame please.
Also the same /// engineer was quoted saying, hang on to the ///3s with S65 engines because it's last of the /// cars with /// DNA and built at the /// centre (I don't know much about this one). All current and future /// cars including 3, 5 and 6 will be series builds along with other non-/// cars.

Somewhat reassuring. If BMW will goodwill possibly and stand behind this wonderful product I may indeed keep the car. This issue was the ONLY reason along with the allure of a Porsche that I would ever dream of parting with the car to begin with.
...and future classic? Just sayin'
