Are BMW actually a joke how smart they are?
Discussion
Was watching a guy working on his E60 M5 doing rod bearings etc.He gets to removing the rods and caps.
Then the talk of fracture split connecting rods where they make the rod and cap as a single piece then snap them to get each half.
They look like this.
Go to 21 minute onwards to see what I am talking about.

Is this BMW being secretly full blown genius or pointless? I have never seen something like this in my life, admittedly I dont rip apart that many engines.
