High quality engineering is a German trait in general. Though I agree, insofar as the war effort was concerened, their penchant for excellency in engineering dealt them a massive and irreparable blow. This was true with most all equipment Germany designed and manufactured for the war. This was definitely one time where the quality over quantity mantra hurt them.
Indeed it is. And it's usually often not required, still the ridiculously expensive maintenance makes BMW half their profits - so there's method to the madness.
