i can only guess the reason why bmw engineers went with this design is to reach packaging and emissions goals that theyd have a hard time doing if they went any other route. I bet an fmic woulda been a better idea performance wise, at least for the street, but i do however love the Vbands everywhere and direct injection is a nice touch!
