I think BMW is going to pull their engines now that VW won the war to buy RR.
Who would want a Rolls with a Audi V8 or a Jag with a Ford modular V8 (even if
reliability might be improved)?   I'm waiting for Mercedes to put a Holly double
pumper on their pushrod Indy engine, stick it in a CLK, put Plymouth on the hood
and go racing at NASCAR :-)
