His design engineer is former BMW M-engine designer, S14 designer, and successfully took BMW to Formula-1. Yeah, he's got his PhD in mechanical engineering. So maybe get your story straight next time you post.
Maybe, just maybe, these guys know a lot more than some random guy with a new screen name every few months who claims to have "OEM" experience.
By the same token, BMW could fixed your problem with a new crankshaft. So why didn't they do it? Oh wait...they did do it...they been through four crank designs on the S85 and three crank designs on the S65. Why didn't any of these fix the problem? I can't wait to hear the next conspiracy theory.

Don't forget that another one of the people contributing to the design works building "race winning" engines for one of the biggest NASCAR teams in the country. These bearings were definitely not some moneymaking scheme by a couple of jo blows. In fact, the first production run will be lucky to turn a profit. If all the people involved got paid for their time invested they would only be making pennies an hour!
