I'd be interested in more information on that score. Or Hyundai using BMW engines,like you I know nothing about it,I haven't been able to find any reference between the two motors and I spent a few hours today trying to find anything out about this on the net.I would think it would be something that has come from a salemans over active imagination,either that or this one particular car has had a BMW engine placed in it.Might be worth an e-mail to the dealer asking for clarification.
