the body panels are mostly new but on page 40 a lot of the suspension is "common parts E87 and E90" or "modified components (developed with minimum expenditure)"
And we all know the N54 + DCT are shared with E90 and other cars |
That's argument for argument sake. The car is for the most part entirely new and not shared components. So you're disappointed they didn't do entirely new engines just for the low volume e89?
Which BMW is entirely 100% new parts only used on that model? None.
