You still don't get it.
They're both bespoke, being M GmbH conceptions and not derived from or related to regular series engines.
The V10 is the only clean sheet design of the two, yes, but both S85 and S65 are bespoke M engines. |
Who cares where they are derived from? The S54 isn't a bespoke M engine and I don't see anyone bashing that motor.
Bespoke means that engine was developed for that car and shares nothing else with any other car or engine. The S65 cannot make this claim. The only BMW that can is the e60. My point is that what you start from doesn't matter. Any M engine is good.
