    BMW always wins something

    From WCF:
    Two awards were won by the V10 high-performance engine, which is to be found under the bonnet of the BMW M5 and M6. The 507bhp power package with a capacity of 5 litres received the award "Best Performance Engine of the Year" as in the last two years, and also won in the engine class over 4.0 litres capacity. In 2005 and 2006 this exceptional engine won the "International Engine of the Year" award itself. "The BMW V10 is still unsurpassed", said jury member Jeroen Jongeneel of "De Telegraaf".

    I'm sure the new 420hp V8 in the upcoming M3 will win next years awards.

    it's absent because it's not available for sale yet, should be in the 2008 awards.

    I guess they include cost effectiveness as a factor, maybe.
