I think that Toyota / BMW shared the cost for developing the engine so we both benefited from the partnership.

Look on the bright side, Toyota is famous for reliability so having their fingers in making the engine should actually makes us feel much better about the M340
Toyota helped build this engine? Do you have any sources to backup this claim?
Pretty sure the only thing Toyota did was purely tune the engine, suspension, steering and other components. I doubt that they built anything.
