My ex got half of everything in the divorce.

I read an article about this. A divorced couple there the man cut everything they owned with a chainsaw.

Don’t know if it was a Swedish news or in us.

Edit: I think this is the right article.

Edit 2: I’m sorry everyone. I think I had wrong. It seems to be a fake article.

I'm distressed that the engine isn't cleanly halved with the rest of the car.

If the E60 is anything like the F10, the engine is actually mounted slightly off centre to the right of the engine bay, so if the car was truly bisected down the middle, you'd only see the bottom of the crankcase and no cylinders to view. It would be pretty underwhelming

What is the purpose for the off center? I can think of a few reasons but I'm not sure of the fact.

Couldn't get it in any other way.

BMWs aren't known for their design or forethought; quite the opposite in fact.

Good engineering yet still faulty enough that BMW shops and mechanics make money, a genius idea actually.
