it makes sense since they were using GM engines before as it was part of their family. They never built their own and now have the rights to go to a better manufacture.

Press release of 8:30 this morning I got at 17:40. I'm on the BMW Goup press club media subscription and get notified of every tiny thing that comes out of their mill, so this is new, though maybe not news.
