I can understand why BMW would not want people to know this, but it's a fact. It's probably also a very good strategy.

cheers!
could well be. dont know how far my bmw friends are involved there. stays to hope that we will see this engine (or at least an engine with similar quality) in a china made (and priced) bike soon.
english is not my native language but i guess "lock, stock and cylinder" means the complete engine? correct? thanks ::: ok, just googled confirmed!
