If you look under the hood of any new BMW, 80% of the engine components are plastic. Hoses, housings, clamps, brackets, retainers, spark plug clips, fuel injector retainers, water pumps....... all plastic!!! Which dries out and get brittle over time due to heat and age!!

All car companies use some plastic in their engines but BMW uses it so much more, and on crucial components.
