This is probably a stupid question, but I was wondering if this engine is designed along the same lines as the new 530 and 525 engines. If it is I will be a little more careful about breakin than I would if it were all all aluminum block. My M3 engin was aluminum with a cast iron cylinder block so the breakin was important.

No, its just a development of the 545i / X5 4.8i block
