Surely the engine agreements with BMW are fair but in BMW's favour slightly.
Current 'performance' BMW engines are for BMW. Morgan gets the non sports designated V8's for the Aero. This works out well for both parties - Morgan gets a tried and tested engine that develops plenty of power for a light car, and BMW doesn't give it's halo 'M' engines to another company to make headlines with...
Sure in an ideal world we'd get the M% V10 or M3 V8 to play with in the Morgan, but the brand folks at BMW are never going to let that happen.
Sure, other companies get them, but they buy them crated and without the support and technical backup that Morgan gets from BMW, which to make reliable well engineered cars at a sensible price is necessary.
Weismann do use these engines, but look at the cost of their cars vs Morgan. I'm sure some of that cost is becuase the relationship with BMW is different (and their lower volumes)..
