Of course RR isn't 'so productive' for BMW AG… they don't take possession until Jan 1 2003!

... who is supplying those V12 engines NOW?
Let's see... they are 5.4 litre V12, just like BMW's V12 under all aspects... Well it must be BMW.

Don't forget the 4.4L turbo V8s for all the Arnage Green Labels that aren't being built…

…making the V12 part of the powertrain components arrangement capital depleting for BMW AG.

Thank God for the HVAC business. With that and all the fiddly bits BMW has to kit and ship to England, the whole program might just be capital neutral. Which was how the original business case was put together to begin with. The BMW/RRMC deal was never envisioned as being a profit center for BMW AG.

Or so Herr Forster claims.
