I would guess that the answer to this is no,they would never agree to that. but to some degree, i agree with your other thought .. they def got ideas from HP and the rest of the Motorsport world.

as we all know..BMW looks at this forum all the time... they would be silly not to.. they have a free focus group on every detail of every car...

I could imagine a group of german engineers, reading theses posts at night at home, and then coming into work the next day and saying..

Hanz, your not gonna believe what i figured out... lets go to the lab and swap some parts...etc etc etc

imitation is the sincearest form of flattery.. of course ther is no money attached to flattery
