Like BMW M3 V8 with lack of bearing clearance and rod side clearance. U.S enthusiasts ended up getting custom bearings designed and manufactured and available to all end users.

Which is why the Euro car is more expensive as they research and develop and engineer cars.
Mazda, Honda and the Koreans then simply buy a Euro car and rip off the Engineering and sell the car with similar technology 50% cheaper than the Germans can. Clowns then can't understand why a German car costs more than a Japanese car that has all the same technology. Why can the Japanese do it so much cheaper? |

They know exactly what they are competing against. That does not always mean that they "copy" others designs . As for why basic , common variety german cars cost more than their Japanese competitors - maybe it is because some mistakenly believe they are superiorly engineered and are prepared to pay for it? Facilities like these are common in car manufacturing. http://www.wired.com/2006/02/teardown/ |

Ford had an M3 for an aspect of Mustang development fairly recently.
