GM will merely demand the engines cheaper and cheaper and quality will suffer (it already has). Eventually, BMW will be another GM if it sides with, well, GM. And its not like FIAT will do anything good for the BMW name. I'd actually look at small, low volume manufacturers. Think Lotus, or TVR, or Jaguar (who desperately needs new engines) or Koenisiggiggiggigigigg, or Ascari (who love that 5 Liter V8, they wanted me to let you know) or the rest of them. There are plenty of small sports car manufacturers who would love to have decent engines. I just hope BMW doesn't try and walk down the path of becoming another shit company.
