It isn't a circular argument cos binning is only used as a method for selection when the engines are built using identical parts.

Thank you, clarence. I think I got your point. Let me ask you two question then:
1. Do you assume that there is such selection process as you described above, or you know for a fact that such selection process exists in BMW's manufacturing process?
2. You mentioned that they apply the software to differentiate the "otherwise identical engines". Do you see a possibility that without the binning process the same purpose can still be achieved?
