BMW does sure deserve that award, have you seen how fast the diesel engined BMWs are?

You're right. We're talking about efficiency (input vs output)

The M5's ECU has three 32-bit processors that perform 200 million calculations per second.

i think one of the main reasons for the V10 winning are the P400 and P400S settings. I think its a damn good idea. Hasn't Nissan won this a shit load of times with the VQ35 3.5 V6? Or is that another engine award?
