I'm super curious about your upper level source....
Quite right. Car brands are like political parties where employees are expected to toe the party line. I believe that the N63 reliability debate, which certainly has merit, has been blown somewhat out of proportion over the years. The N62 engines in my 645ci and 740i were way more troublesome compared to the N63 in my 650i.
