In a perfect world, yes, no one can get away with anything. However, government pockets are deep. BMW does underrate their engines. I forget the article I read a while back, but it's true. Here's a recent article that proves it: http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1...akes?fbfanpage. That's also the reason why they can be modified so heavily.
