That's part of the problem with BMW, it's losing ground fast technology-wise to the big boys like Ford, VW Group, Toyota which partially explains the deterioration in BMW quality and the competition like Ford passing BMW in performance! They are trying to keep up with 1/10th the budget and total lack of economies of scale.

Ford tech > BMW. That's just how it is.
