Once again, everyone else likes to claim that the PhDs that work at BMW have no clue what they are doing and comments like these without clear understanding of what the goal was in creating the solution, or clear technical basis for the statement in the first place are so easy to blindly follow!!!

How long did it take for other car manufacturers to get 315+hp out of 3.5 6 cylinder RELIABLY after BMW did??? Those strokes at BMW really do shoddy work......despicable!!!!!


The Torque under load procedure was mandated by BMW to slow the failure of their poorly designed Bushings on our cars.
