There were also tiny details that were nice as well. The stock exhaust has a little heat shield tacked on directly below the rear axle boot. They haven't lost their German soul completely but something like a single ear diff on a 400+hp rwd manual car with serious mechanical traction potential...
Also - the oil sump/pan has "waffling" on the exterior which I thought was interesting. Traditionally the waffling is on the interior of the pan surface.
We also noticed several bolts they use appeared to be LIKE a Etorx bolt but actually a special bolt head pattern which appears to be bespoke for BMW... Can't wait to buy that socket.
