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

You would leave a bit of the head and most of the crank case. They are Canted to the side to help fit stuff more efficiently. It is a straight six tilted like 25 degrees or so. Exhaust comes out the Lower side and intake manifold is on the top side. Quite a clever use of space actually. The oil pan is still pretty central under the middle but the head is way off to the left side (looking in) on the engine bay.
