Queue those who don't know anything coming in to say...."but BMW must know what they were doing and must have done it for a reason."

Well it's not like BMW has never built engines before. A bearing clearance is not something they just arbitrarily pick, this shit goes through a lot of R&D. That being said, we don't have any information about what kind of data led them to that design. It's very possible it was based on bad data.
