They may have cutting edge engine design, but I personally don't think that they have their crank cutting figured out

The S54/S85/S65 proves that they have issues setting clearances! I love BMW too but in this instance they screwed up royally, even more so by not admitting to a mistake and fixing the clearance issues after they first surfaced in the S54!
