Only Production Date 2020 to 2022, so most Grenadiers are delivered from early 2023

maybe so, but Ineos was stocking BMW engine assemblies and parts well beforehand...

Nearly all types, all combustion engines

When I got the car,I thought the starter motor looked quite tiny for a 6 cyl/3L engine....

Does the stop/start system use this main starter motor

or a BISG generator system, in which case it could account for a small main starter.
