Exactly.
And it was a rhetorical question so you just made my point.
BMW could've [with the E60] just as easily (and with less cost) modified an existing engine and slap an "M steptronic" transmission and it would've been just as fast. But that takes something away from the uniqueness of it doesn't it?
